Black 2 · White 2
Its fluffy coat swells to double when static electricity builds up. Touching it can be shocking.
Diamond · Pearl · Platinum · Black · White · X
Its fluffy wool rubs together and builds a static charge. The more energy is charged, the more brightly the lightbulb at the tip of its tail glows.
Emerald
