Ultra Sun
It stores electricity in its fur. It gives off sparks from all over its body in seasons when the air is dry.
HeartGold · SoulSilver · Shield
Using electricity stored in its fur, it stimulates its muscles to heighten its reaction speed.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · Black 2 · White 2 · X

FireRed · LeafGreen · Y · Sword
It generates electricity using friction from the atmosphere. In seasons with especially arid air, its entire body blazes with violent showers of sparks.
