Revision 2

Overview

Voltorb is an Electric-type Pokemon in Pokemon Pokopia, classified as the Ball Pokemon (Dex #096). It stands 1'8" tall and weighs 22.9 lbs. Voltorb is one of only two Pokemon in the entire game with the Explode specialty, making it exceptionally rare and valuable. It also carries the Generate specialty for powering machines with electricity.

The Pokedex describes Voltorb: "It is said to camouflage itself as a Poke Ball. It will self-destruct with very little stimulus." Voltorb and its evolution Electrode are the only two Pokemon in Pokopia that possess the Explode specialty. This makes them the only Pokemon that can be fired out of a cannon for demolition purposes.

Habitats

Voltorb can be found in two habitats, both of which spawn it at Common rarity:

Park Bench (#066)

The Park Bench habitat's description reads: "After eating a snack, put your trash in the trash can....Think Pokemon can remember to do that?"

Three Pokemon share this habitat: Zubat (#081) at Common rarity, Voltorb at Common rarity, and Electrode at Very Rare rarity.

Playing Pirate (#090)

The Playing Pirate habitat's description reads: "Stand in front of the wheel or right by the cannons, and you'll feel like you're sailing the open seas!"

Two Pokemon share the Playing Pirate habitat: Voltorb and Electrode, both at Common rarity. This habitat is thematically perfect for Voltorb since it features cannons, and Voltorb's Explode specialty lets it be fired from them.

Specialties

Explode

Voltorb has the Explode specialty. Pokemon with Explode can be fired out of a cannon, destroying everything around them on impact. Only two Pokemon in Pokopia have this specialty: Voltorb and Electrode. The Explode specialty is useful for clearing obstacles, demolishing structures, and reaching areas that are otherwise inaccessible. Place Voltorb near a cannon to use this ability.

Generate

Voltorb also has the Generate specialty. Pokemon with Generate can power machines with electricity. Many advanced items in Pokopia require power to operate, including Cash Registers for Trade Pokemon and various automated machines. Assign Voltorb to a generator or power source and it will keep connected devices running.

Tips

• Voltorb is one of only two Pokemon with the Explode specialty. If you need demolition capabilities, Voltorb is one of your only options.

• The Park Bench habitat is simple to build (just a wide seat and a garbage bin), making it one of the easiest ways to encounter Voltorb. The Playing Pirate habitat is more complex but also spawns Electrode at Common rarity.

• Voltorb's Generate specialty pairs well with its Ball Pokemon theme. Station it near machines that need power, especially Cash Registers for your Trade Pokemon.

• Voltorb and Electrode share identical specialties (Explode and Generate) and similar preferences. They work well stationed together in a tech-themed area.

• Decorate Voltorb's area with electronics, shiny objects, round items, and spinning decorations to boost its Comfort Level.
