Galvantula, sadly, isn’t as interesting as Joltik in that respect: he really is just a spider who happens to have electrical powers. It’s easy to imagine Joltik being major pests and dealing with them as an important part of day-to-day life in Unova. Joltik are adaptable Pokémon too those living in urban areas, instead of clinging to large Pokémon, cluster around power sockets and other man-made sources of electricity and extract energy from those, an interesting and creative example of how wild Pokémon can react to the presence of humans. Where normal ticks drain blood from their hosts, however, Joltik drains static electricity (which doesn’t seem obviously harmful it might be more appropriate to call Joltik a symbiote, depending on whether it can provide its host any benefit – perhaps by helping it to fight attackers?). Joltik is, as his name suggests, a tick he’s a parasite who normally lives by attaching himself to much larger Pokémon. Joltik’s not just an insect that happens to have electrical powers either, which would be the lazy way of interpreting the type combination the two elements actually work together. Like Volcarona, the Pokémon I’m looking at today – Joltik and Galvantula – draw much of their uniqueness from something very simple, a new type combination: Bug/Electric. So far, I’ve also looked at the bizarre but surprisingly intriguing Crustle and the awe-inspiring solar moth, Volcarona, both fun and powerful additions to the Bug-type hive. Black and White introduced Leavanny and Scolipede, who, despite not being remarkably powerful, finally banished the unfortunate cliché of Bug-types that appear early in the game, evolve quickly, peak early, and ultimately prove useless. Joltik fires a stream of yellow electricity into the air.This has been a good year for Bug Pokémon. The web then covers the opponent and shocks it. As it flies through the air, the tip opens up and expands, forming into a large spider web of yellow electricity. Yellow sparks appear in between Galvantula's pedipalps and are shot forward by the user as a stream of yellow electricity. The user attacks and captures opposing Pokémon using an electric net.
