Generation VII

Sun

Its body is capable of storing electricity. On camping trips, people are grateful to have one around.

Moon

From the food it digests, it generates electricity, and it stores this energy in its electric sac.

Ultra Sun

It buries itself in fallen leaves and barely moves, munching away on humus. If you accidentally step on one, you’ll get a shock!

Ultra Moon

Its stout shell provides excellent defense from attacks. It uses electricity on persistent opponents.

Generation VIII

Sword

While its durable shell protects it from attacks, Charjabug strikes at enemies with jolts of electricity discharged from the tips of its jaws.

Shield

Its digestive processes convert the leaves it eats into electricity. An electric sac in its belly stores the electricity for later use.
