Electrike (Pokémon)

Electrike made its main series debut in Watt's with Wattson?. After Wattson was easily defeated by Ash during their Gym battle, Wattson needed some time alone. During this, an Electrike came to comfort the Mauville City Gym Leader. Wattson decided to keep it as one of his own Pokémon. It later evolved into Manectric in Manectric Charge.

In The Electrike Company!, though Jaco thought that his Electrike wasn't that strong and wouldn't pass a test, Ash and friends helped Electrike control its power, resulting in it evolving into a Manectric.

In the original timeline of Arceus and the Jewel of Life, five Electrike were used by Damos, who was under Hypnosis, to attack Arceus with Shock Wave. When Ash and his friends traveled to the past to prevent this, Marcus, the one responsible for hypnotizing Damos, managed to use the Electrike again to attack Arceus.

Two Electrike debuted in Jirachi: Wish Maker. One was with its Trainer in the opening sequence of the movie, while another was one of the residents of Forina, Jirachi's home.

In Plugging Past Electrike I, Wattson owned an Electrike, which later evolved into a Manectric.

An Electrike, nicknamed Rikelec (Japanese: ライガン Raigan), under the ownership of Chance (Japanese: ノブヒロ Nobuhiro), appeared while Ruby was participating in a Pokémon Contest in Tripped Up by Torkoal.

In PS562, multiple Electrike were among the Electric-type Pokémon that charged the Prism Tower during a blackout.

One of these Electrike that supplied power to the Prism Tower witnessed X activate a Mega Evolution during a battle inside the Tower itself. He then followed X's group and evolved into a Manectric shortly before joining X's team, being named Élec.

Electrike has a resemblance to a canine pup and shares traits with the yōkai, 雷獣 Raijū, an elemental lightning creature that can take on the form of various mammals, with the wolf being the most common.

Electrike may be a combination of electric and strike or tyke (slang word for dog or small child).

Rakurai literally means 落雷 (bolt of lightning).
