Voltorb (#100): Kanto Region Electric-Type
Voltorb, the Kanto region Electric-type, offers 3 candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. It evolves into Electrode using 50 candies. Boasting a max CP of 1141, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense, Voltorb packs a punch. However, remember its weaknesses: Ground-type moves inflict 160% damage. Electric, Flying, and Steel-type moves do reduced damage (63%). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO. Rainy weather boosts its attack power. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.
Hisuian Voltorb (#100): Kanto Region Electric-Type
Hisuian Voltorb shares Voltorb's Pokédex number and evolution requirements. It also provides 3 candies and 100 Stardust upon capture, evolving into Hisuian Electrode with 50 candies. Statistically identical to Voltorb (1141 CP, 111 Defense, 109 Attack), its type matchups differ. Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison-type moves deal 160% damage, while Grass, Steel, and Water-type moves inflict 63% damage. Electric-type moves do reduced damage (39%). Its best moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, yielding 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Partly cloudy and rainy weather enhance its damage output.
