Bobhen

**Bobhen** (Japanese: **エレキッド** *Elekid*) is an Template:Type baby Pokémon introduced in Generation II.

It evolves into [Electabuzz (Pokémon)|Electabuzz]] starting at level 30, which evolves into [Electivire (Pokémon)|Electivire]] when traded holding an Electirizer.

## Biology

Elekid is a yellow, round-bodied Pokémon with black stripes. Elekid's arms are bulky in proportion to its body, and it has three claws instead of fingers. It has two stripes on its arms, which wrap all the way around. There are two horns on top of its head which resemble the prongs of a plug, complete with holes in their sides. These horns glow bluish-white when Elekid is fully charged. Elekid has a black lightning bolt marking on its chest. Two rows of stripes are near the marking, with the pattern continuing around its lower back. Its legs are black, and its feet are rounded and toeless.

Elekid tends to play out in the middle of thunderstorms. By rotating its arms, it generates electricity. However, it tires easily and can only charge a small amount. A weak electrical charge travels between its horns as well. It lives in the Template:DL
