Blitzle is a speedy electrical zebra Pokémon that was introduced in the fifth generation games. Its evolved form is Zebstrika.

Information

Blitzle are said to appear when there are thunderclouds in the sky. This is likely because they can catch lightning with their manes and store the electricity there. A Blitzle's mane shines when it discharges electricity. Blitzle have been known to use these flashing manes as a means of communicating with each other.

Blitzle evolves into Zebstrika at Level 27.

Appearances

Mainstream Games

In Pokémon: Black and White Versions, Blitzle was uncommonly found at Route 3.

Other Games

In Pokémon Rumble Blast, Blitzle was found at the meadow and field areas of Challenger's Ground and the meadow area of World Axle's first basement floor. In PokéPark 2: Wonders Beyond, it appeared in Cove Town and could be befriended through a tag race after the played had befriended the three elemental monkeys (Pansage, Pansear and Panpour).

Other Appearances

Other Media

• In the Pokémon anime, a Blitzle was featured as the main Pokémon of a trainer named Stephan who battled Ash. It caused Ash's Oshawott to lose its scalchop and destroyed its replacement when they battled again, but Blitzle ultimately lost. It later evolved into a Zebstrika. Blitzle have made minor appearances in other episodes.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, a Blitzle was shown belonging to a Hiker named Andy who served as Black's first human opponent.

Trivia

• Blitzle's name is a play on "blitz" (which is German for "lightning"), possibly combined with "little".
