Ampharos Mega is an Electric/Dragon-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II, with its Mega Evolution debuting in Generation VI.

Type: Electric / Dragon

Abilities:

• Mold Breaker: Moves can be used on the target regardless of its Abilities. This allows Ampharos Mega to ignore abilities like Levitate, which would normally negate its Electric-type moves.

Physical Characteristics:

• Ampharos Mega has a majestic appearance compared to its base form, with a long, flowing white mane and a tuft of wool on its head and tail.
• It has a sleek body with dark, dragon-like scales accentuating the Electric-type yellow and white color scheme.
• Its eyes are sharp and confident, and it retains the red orbs on its forehead and tail, which glow brightly.

Behavior and Habitat:

• Ampharos Mega is known for its calm demeanor and is often seen as a beacon of light due to its ability to emit bright flashes from its body, a trait inherited from its pre-evolution.
• It typically inhabits open fields and meadows where it can bask in sunlight, although its Dragon typing suggests an affinity for more mountainous or cave-like habitats upon Mega Evolution.
• Ampharos Mega is a loyal and dependable companion, often used as a guide in dark areas due to its illuminating abilities.

In Battle:

• Notable moves include Dragon Pulse, Thunderbolt, and Focus Blast, which take advantage of its dual typing and coverage options.
• It is strong against Flying and Water types thanks to its Electric typing, and its Dragon typing grants resistance against Fire, Grass, Water, and Electric moves.
• However, it remains vulnerable to Ice, Dragon, Fairy, and Ground-type moves.

• Ampharos Mega is the Mega Evolution of Ampharos, which evolves from Flaaffy starting at level 30.
• Flaaffy evolves from Mareep starting at level 15.
• To Mega Evolve, Ampharos must hold an Ampharosite during battle.

Interesting Facts:
