Y: The frills on either side of its head have cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.
Omega-Ruby: They make their home in deserts. They can generate their energy from basking in the sun, so eating food is not a requirement.
Alpha-Sapphire: The frills on either side of its head have cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.
Sword: When spread, the frills on its head act like solar panels, generating the power behind this Pokémon’s electric moves.
