Voltorb is an Electric-type Pokémon from the Kanto region. It evolves into Electrode when fed 50 candies. It has a Hisuian form that is Electric, Grass-type.
Pokédex description
Voltorb was first sighted at a company that manufactures Poké Balls. The link between that sighting and the fact that this Pokémon looks very similar to a Poké Ball remains a mystery.
An enigmatic Pokémon that happens to bear a resemblance to a Poké Ball. When excited, it discharges the electric current it has stored in its belly, then lets out a great, uproarious laugh.
