And so, my favourite electric type is...
#403
Shinx (コリンク) Kolink
Species: Flash Pokémon
Abilities: Rivalry, Intimidate, and Guts
Height: 1'08" (.5 m)
Weight: 20.9 lbs (9.5 kg)
Dex color: Blue
Pokédex Entries:
- Gen IV
- Diamond: All of its fur dazzles if danger is sensed. It flees while the foe is momentarily blinded.
- Pearl: ts forelegs have a muscle-based system of generating electricity. Its body shines if endangered.
- Platinum: The extension and contraction of its muscles generates electricity. It glows when in trouble.
- HeartGold/SoulSilver: The extension and contraction of its muscles generates electricity. Its fur glows when it's in trouble.
Yes, this is the first non-Gen I favourite I have. I'm not overly fond of electric types to begin with, and I can't stand that stupid yellow rat that is the mascot of the series. However, I have a special fondness in my heart for Shinx, which likely has to do with A) how adorable it is and B) Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness/Time/Sky. This was my second partner. <3 And he gets an awesome room-killing move, too. All hair Charge-Discharge!
Incidentally, the little guy in the picture is actually a shiny Shinx. Usually they're blue.
