Emolga (Japanese: エモンガ Emonga) is a dual-type Electric/Flying Pokémon introduced in Generation V.
It is not known to evolve into or from any other Pokémon.
Biology
Emolga is a white, rodent-like Pokémon resembling a flying squirrel. It has black eyes, a tiny nose, and yellow cheek patches. It can generate electricity on the electric sacs located on its cheeks and store electricity inside its membranes. Its ears, positioned at the top of its head, are rounded in shape and black in coloration, with yellow and white sections of coloration in the inside of its ears. It sports a vaguely hood-like patterning of black around its head, with a spiky extension of the pattern above its face. It has yellow winglike flaps connected to its three-fingered arms. Its feet are white and fairly small and its black tail is in a jagged shape.
Emolga lives in treetops, sometimes in holes gouged by Pikipek, and uses its flaps to glide from tree to tree. It generates electricity in its cheeks, stores it in its membrane, and discharges it while gliding. It does this in order to be able to scare off bird Pokémon, giving Emolga the capability to gather lots of food. It then grills its food, being berries or bug Pokémon, with electric shocks to eat. However, due to its tendency to stuffing its cheeks with food, Emolga will not be able to fly properly. While Emolga is cute, it tends to cause trouble.

Much like Pikachu, Emolga is more than just a cute face. It glides down from treetops on its cape-like membranes to really shock its foes!

Sun |
It glides using its cape-like membrane. Electrical energy scatters from it, shocking its friends and foes alike. |
Moon |
It grills berries and bug Pokémon with electric shocks and makes a meal of them. It usually nests in the holes gouged in trees by Pikipek. |
Ultra Sun |
They store up electricity to fly through the air. When thunder cracks at night, sometimes there are almost enough of them to blot out the sky. |
Ultra Moon |
As it flies, it scatters electricity around, so bird Pokémon keep their distance. That's why Emolga can keep all its food to itself. |

Trivia
- Emolga was first seen in an image on August 7, 2010.[citation needed]
- Emolga is the only Pokémon with a base stat total of 428.
Origin
Emolga is based on a flying squirrel wearing a cape[1]. The squirrel specifically could be the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel and the feathertail glider.
Name origin
Emolga appears to be a corruption of Emonga. It may have been intentional due to "Mong" being a curse word in some English speaking countries.
Emonga may be a combination of 衣紋 emon (drapery/clothes/dress, referring to its patagium) and モモンガ momonga (scientific name of the Japanese dwarf flying squirrel).
