It turns electric energy into power! Here's how Zeraora battles!

The Zeraora that appears in "Pocket Monsters Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon"
is a great battler as well, making use of the electric energy it has taken into its body.
We will now present Zeraora's newly discovered Ability, as well as the move "Plasma Fists", which only Zeraora can learn!



The mythical Pokémon
Zeraora
Species: Thunderclap Pokémon
Height: 1.5m
Weight: 44.5kg
Type: Electric
Ability: Volt Absorb

Unlike your average Electric type Pokémon, Zeraora doesn't have an internal organ that generates electricity.
It is, however, capable of stockpiling electric energy it takes in externally, then using this as its own electric energy.
When it uses high voltage electric energy, the fur all over its body bristles.
*Zeraora is a mythical Pokémon that can't be encountered during normal gameplay.



It nullifies damage with the Ability "Volt Absorb"!



Zeraora has the Ability "Volt Absorb",
which nullifies damage from Electric type moves and recovers one fourth of its HP!!
It's the perfect Ability for Zeraora, which is able to take energy into its body!



Pikachu uses Volt Tackle!
This is a powerful move where the user rushes at the opponent covered in electricity, however...



Thanks to Volt Absorb's effect, Zeraora recovers HP without taking any damage!

"Plasma Fists", the move only Zeraora can learn



During the turn Plasma Fists is used,
Normal type moves become Electric type!
This is a move only Zeraora can learn!
(Type: Electric Category: Physical)



Zeraora uses Plasma Fists! It attacks with fists covered in electricity!



Plasma Fists causes a shower of electrons to pour down, and...



Normal type moves become Electric type!
Tekkaguya's "Explosion" has its move type changed as well,
so Zeraora, which has the Ability "Volt Absorb", is able to recover HP instead of taking damage!

You try out battling against Zeraora too!
