The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Shield

    It lays traps of electrified threads near the nests of bird Pokémon, aiming to snare chicks that are not yet good at flying.

  • Sword

    It launches electrified fur from its abdomen as its means of attack. Opponents hit by the fur could be in for three full days and nights of paralysis.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    When attacked, they create an electric barrier by spitting out many electrically charged threads.

  • Omega Ruby

    They employ an electrically charged web to trap their prey. While it is immobilized by shock, they leisurely consume it.

1 more entries from older games
  • White 2

    It creates barriers from electrified silk that stun foes. This works as a weapon as well as a defense.
