Pokédex descriptions
Legends Arceus
It can discharge bursts of electricity exceeding 100,000 volts— a single strike with that amount of power would incapacitate one of the Copperajah of my homeland.
Shield
If its electric pouches run empty, it raises its tail to gather electricity from the atmosphere.
Sword
Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
