The Story

What the Pokédex says

  • Shield

    Joltik latch on to other Pokémon and suck out static electricity. They’re often found sticking to Yamper’s hindquarters.

  • Sword

    Joltik can be found clinging to other Pokémon. It’s soaking up static electricity because it can’t produce a charge on its own.

  • Alpha Sapphire

    They attach themselves to large-bodied Pokémon and absorb static electricity, which they store in an electric pouch.

  • Omega Ruby

    Since it can’t generate its own electricity, it sticks onto large-bodied Pokémon and absorbs static electricity.

1 more entries from older games
  • Black

    Joltik that live in cities have learned a technique for sucking electricity from the outlets in houses.
