Electrike is a green, canine Pokémon with yellow markings. It has a large head crest with angular, lightning-like markings on the side. Its snout has a yellow blaze, and four fangs are discernible when its mouth is open. It has a yellow stripe down its back. Each of its four legs has a spike, with the ones on its hind legs being longer. It has yellow crescent-shaped paw pads on its front feet, while the pads on its hind feet are circular. It has a small, pointed, yellow-tipped tail.
Using the electric charge found in its fur, Electrike stimulates its leg muscles and runs faster than the human eye can follow. It uses friction from the atmosphere to generate electricity. Because of this, its body gives off showers of sparks in seasons with arid air or before a storm. As shown in the anime, using metal brushes to groom the Electrike will cause the metal to conduct the electrical charge in the fur and subsequently shock the handler. It lives in grasslands and savannas.
Where To Find Electrike In Sword & Shield
Electrike can be found dashing around Route 4. If youre looking for at a higher level, check the Wild Area. There, they can be found at Dappled Grove, Dusty Bowl, East Lake Axewell, Giants Seat, Rolling Fields, South Lake Miloch, Watchtower Ruins, and West Lake Axewell. They prefer thunderstorms for obvious reasons, so it might take some patience.
