Voltorb (Japanese: ビリリダマ Biriridama) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation I.

It evolves into Electrode starting at level 30.

Biology

Voltorb is a spherical Pokémon that resembles a Poké Ball with eyes and minus the button. The top half is red, while the bottom half is white. Because of its resemblance to Poké Balls, it is thought that it was composed when one was exposed to an energy pulse. This is supported by the fact that its components do not occur naturally. Voltorb is generally found in power plants and other areas with electric fields where it feeds. It was first discovered in the plant where modern Poké Balls were invented. It has a volatile temperament and will explode if agitated or bumped by the slightest contact.

Trivia

  • In the English and European versions of Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver, a game called Voltorb Flip is introduced in place of slot machines. The game is similar to Minesweeper and largely focuses on flipping over cards to multiply the coins currently earned. Some cards, however, have Voltorb on them which will cause the player to lose coins when flipped.
  • Voltorb has the lowest base Attack stat of all Electric-type Pokémon.
  • According to Pokémon HeartGold and SoulSilver: Prima's Official Strategy Guide, Voltorb is the only Pokémon recommended for the Disc Catch that is not a Flying type.

Origin

Voltorb seems to be based upon the concept of a living Poké Ball, with its Shiny coloration possibly being based on a Great Ball. The design concept may be an inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as Capsule Monsters, as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle.

It may also be based on tsukumogami, where items acquire a spirit and come to life at their 100th birthday. This may be referenced by Voltorb's National Pokédex number which is 100.

The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a mimic, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.

Given its tendency to explode, it could also be based on a bomb. Its unpredictable tendency to explode, as well as its shape and name, may be a reference to ball lightning.

Name origin

Voltorb is a combination of volt and orb.

Biriridama may be a combination of ビリビリ biribiri (sound of electric shock) and 玉 tama (sphere).
