Flaaffy is an electric sheep Pokémon that was introduced in the second generation games. It is the middle form of Mareep's evolutionary line and evolves into Ampharos.

Information

Flaaffy evolves from Mareep at Level 15. Its evolution causes a change in its wool quality that allows it to generate a large amount of electricity using smaller amounts of wool. This is because storing too much electricity caused Flaaffy to develop patches where even downy wool cannot grow. The bare and slick parts of its hide are rubbery, which shields it from its own electricity. Flaaffy can also fire hair that zaps on impact. Like its earlier form, Flaaffy's fleece also stores electricity, and the light bulb on its tail also lights when when it is electrically charged.

It evolves into Ampharos at Level 30.

Other Appearances

• In the Pokémon anime, Flaaffy has made primarily minor appearances. During one episode of the Battle Frontier series, a Flaaffy belonging to a trainer named Mariah acted as a love interest for Brock's Marshtomp.
• In the Pokémon Adventures manga, Flaaffy was featured in one chapter of the Gold/Silver/Crystal arc where Crystal found them in Bill's abandoned motorboat and wound up fighting them, catching the Flaaffy after targeting its bare patches of skin.

Trivia

• Its name seems to be a combination of "fluffy" with the sheep sound "baa".
