CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Electivire stores electricity until sparks leap between its horns. It can place both tails against an opponent to release a discharge, or charge its fist by grasping their tips. The amount of current it produces increases with its pulse, especially during battle. The Pokédex credits it with an immense energy reserve capable of powering an entire city. Its body thus acts as generator, conductor and weapon at once.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pokémon Ultra Moon states that a single Electivire could power the buildings of a metropolis for a year. Pokémon Sword connects its voltage with its pulse rate. The Pokédex thus links a gigantic amount of energy with an immediate reaction to battle.
