Volbeat

== Biology ==
Volbeat is a firefly-like, bipedal Pokémon. Its body is black with a blue chest and abdomen. There are two yellow stripes across its front: one on its chest and one near its legs. A red band separates each limb from its body and a thicker, incomplete one surrounds its shoulders. Two simple wings extend from the band around its shoulder. It has a blue face with yellow eyes, and curly, yellow antennae with black stripes. It has a spherical yellow tail, which glows to communicate and draw geometric patterns in the sky while in a swarm.

==Trivia==
*Despite being a firefly, he is found all day in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, while real fireflies are nocturnal.
*Volbeat has the same name as a Danish metal band. The similarity, however, is only coincidental, as the lead singer for the band named it after an album called Vol.Beat (short for volume and beat).
*Volbeat and Illumise are both known as the Firefly Pokémon.
*Volbeat and Watchog are the only non- type Pokémon with Illuminate as their ability.
===Origin===
Volbeat is based on a firefly. It also shares similarities to greasers, a style that commonly involved greased hair and black collared jackets appearance-wise. Volbeat's curled antennae may reference the stylized or greased hair while its black coloration and neck collar resemble the jackets. This style as well as it being a male-only Pokémon line up with Illumise, who is a female-only Pokémon and has a more women-inspired style.
===Etymology===
Volbeat may come from volt and beat.
