Voltorb (Pokémon #100):

This Kanto-region Electric-type Pokémon (#100 in the Pokédex) evolves into Electrode with 50 candies. Catch rewards are 3 candies and 100 Stardust. It boasts a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. Voltorb is weak against Ground-type moves (160% damage) and resists Electric, Flying, and Steel-type moves (63% damage). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge (5.81 DPS, 40.62 TDO), boosted in Rainy weather. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits!

Hisuian Voltorb (Pokémon #100):

Also #100 in the Pokédex, this Hisuian variant shares Voltorb's evolution line and catch rewards. Its stats (max CP 1141, 111 Defense, 109 Attack) are identical. However, its type matchups differ. It takes increased damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves (160% damage), while resisting Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves (63% damage) and other Electric-type moves (39% damage). The best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt (5.39 DPS, 37.60 TDO), enhanced in Partly Cloudy and Rainy weather. Look for the Shiny variant with its distinctive black body.
