Voltorb (Pokémon #100):
This Kanto region Electric-type Pokémon (#100 in the Pokédex) evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Each catch yields 3 candies and 100 Stardust. Voltorb boasts a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. Its optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge (5.81 DPS, 40.62 TDO), significantly boosted in Rainy weather. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery!
Hisuian Voltorb (Pokémon #100):
Also #100 in the Pokédex, this Hisuian variant shares Voltorb's evolution path and candy/Stardust rewards. It also has a max CP of 1141, 111 Defense, and 109 Attack. However, its type advantages and disadvantages differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type attacks deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type attacks deal 63% damage. Other Electric-type attacks inflict only 39% damage. Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt (5.39 DPS, 37.60 TDO), enhanced in Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather.
