Eelektross (Japanese: シビルドン Shibirudon) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation V.

It evolves from Eelektrik when exposed to a Thunder Stone. It is the final form of Tynamo.

Biology

Eelektross is an eel-like Pokémon that resembles a lamprey, with a long tentacle-like, finned limb extending from its head. It has red eyes, a dark blue body, and possesses clawed, paddle-like arms with yellow spots and yellow-and-red palms. It has a beige fin on the upper portion of its body and beige fin-like legs below.

It lives in the ocean, but it crawls ashore using its arms in order to hunt. It latches onto prey with its sucker mouth and shocks them with electricity from its fangs, before dragging them as it returns into the ocean.

Evolution

Eelektross evolves from Eelektrik and is the final form of Tynamo.

Trivia

• Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms were designed by Yusuke Ohmura.
• Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are the only Pokémon with no type weaknesses, as of current type mechanics (including the Fairy type).
• Eelektross's White, Black 2, White 2, X and Omega Ruby Pokédex entries mention that Eelektross can use its fangs to shock its prey with electricity. Despite this, Eelektross did not learn Thunder Fang until Generation IX.
• Along with Oricorio, Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are the only Pokémon included in all three of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet's Pokédexes.
• Eelektross and Breloom are the only Pokémon not compatible with Pokémon Sword and Shield that are capable of Dynamaxing, being able to do so in Pokémon Masters EX.

Origin

Eelektross and its pre-evolved forms are based on eels, perhaps specifically the electric eel (which is actually a type of knifefish, despite its name). They may also be based on leeches.

Eelektross and its evolutionary relatives also bear a strong resemblance to lampreys, known as 八目鰻 yatsume unagi (literally "eight-eyed eel") in Japanese. Eelektross's four-toothed mouth may be based off of the oral disc of a lamprey, and the spots on its sides may be an allusion to a lamprey's gill slits.

Its Electric typing may be an allusion to bioelectrogenesis. Additionally, its manner of moving in the air with an open mouth may be inspired by windsocks, perhaps specifically Koinobori, a type of fish-shaped windsock flown to celebrate Children's Day in Japan.

Name origin

Eelektross may be a combination of eel, electric, and possibly boss or gross.

Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ shibire (numbness) or 痺鰻 shibire-unagi (electric eel) and don (Spanish for lord) or -don (common suffix in dinosaur names derived from the Ancient Greek word for tooth).
