Bellibolt is an Electric-type Pokémon in the franchise of the same name. It debuted in the ninth generation games, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. It evolves from Tadbulb when exposed to a Thunder Stone.

Physiology and Behavior[]

Bellibolt is a large, rotund, frog Pokémon. Its elastic and squishy body is primarily green in color, with orange patterns on its head, back, and lower body, along with small orange feet. The pattern on its head is shaped like a rounded cross, while the patterns on its lower body are chevron-shaped. The pattern on its back consists of two orange chevrons and a lightning bolt shape, surrounding an orange circle with a yellow dot at the center.

Bellibolt has two white bumps on the sides of its head, each containing a black dot with a yellow border. These bumps resemble eyeballs, although they do not function as such. On the center of Bellibolt's face are its actual eyes, which are small, yellow, and resemble nostrils; along with its mouth, which has orange lips and small yellow cheek patches. Bellibolt's gray belly is covered with a semi-transparent membrane, and has a yellow organ inside that resembles a belly button. As Bellibolt's body expands and contracts, this organ generates electricity, which Bellibolt discharges through the bumps on its head. These head bumps glow when discharging electricity, and they also allow Bellibolt to appear more intimidating.

Bellibolt is capable of moving very quickly, but usually chooses to act sluggishly. It is difficult to train Bellibolt to initiate a battle because it has an easygoing temperament, and does not notice its opponents until it is attacked. At night, Bellibolt's stomach emits a strange noise, which signals that it is hungry.
