Zeraora

() is an -type Mythical Pokémon introduced in Generation VII.
==Biology==
===Physiology===
Zeraora is a bipedal feline Pokémon. It has mostly yellow fur with black lightning bolt designs, which cover its head, arms and part of it legs. It also has black fur on its face. It has blue bolts for whiskers and a blue spike on its head. Zeraora doesn't have a tail but it has long, tail-like fur between its shoulders on its back that takes the shape of a lightning bolt. Its paw pads are blue and its feet are black with three claws.
=== Behavior ===
Alolan elders claim that Zeraora is distrustful of humans because of how it was treated by a group of island newcomers; the visitors in fact came to Alola as poachers and betrayed Zeraora's trust, leading it to shun humans from then onwards.
===Natural Abilities===
Zeraora can create a powerful magnetic field by emitting strong electric currents from the pads on its hands and feet. It can use this magnetic field to levitate and move through the air at high speed. Its max speed is said to be about the same as that of a lightning strike.
Unlike other -type Pokémon, it doesn't have an organ within its body that can produce electricity. However, it is able to gather and store electricity from outside sources, then reuses it as its own electric energy. When it uses massive amounts of electricity, its fur stands on end all over its body.
==Evolution==
Zeraora does not evolve.

==Trivia==
*Zeraora is currently the only -type Mythical Pokémon.
*From all Pokémon introduced in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, Zeraora is the only Pokémon that isn't an Ultra Beast.
*According to Zeraora (MS021)'s manga backstory, it was said to be born after a lightning bolt struck the mouth of an erupting volcano.
*Using this code (QKUW-WWWW-WWWL-J5TL) found in a battle video released by the Pokémon Company on 26/4/2018, it was usable via legitimate means prior to its distribution.
===Origin===
Like Raikou and Manectric, Zeraora is based on a Raijū, a mythical animal that is an embodiment of lightning, sometimes represented as a cat or tiger.
It might also be based on the kamaitachi, a weasel-like mythical creature from Japanese myth, (albeit only in concept, as Sneasel is already based on this being) since it has sharp claws and is very fast.
It is likely based on catgirls due to its catlike ears, feline forearms, humanoid traits, and the long fur on its back resembling both long hair and a tail. These are traits catgirls commonly have.
It may be based on Onis, which are often associated with tiger pelts and lightning much like Electabuzz.
Its shiny form is based on white tigers and possibly the White Tiger of the West, a creature in East Asian mythology that represents the element of metal, as metal conducts electricity.
Considering that Alola is based on Hawaii, it may be based on Kanehekili, the Hawaiian god of thunder, though it is not related to the Tapus.
===Etymology===
Zeraora is a combination of the words "zap" and "tora", (Japanese for "tiger"), as well as the Japanese kiai shouts "ora".
