How to unlock Electabuzz in PokeBonk
Electabuzz joins your League in two steps. First, finish its League challenge; the counters add up across runs unless a goal says "in a single run":
- Have 25 members in your League.
- Paralyze 3,000 Pokemon in a single run.
Catching Electabuzz
Then Electabuzz can show up as a Wild Encounter in your next runs, 50 to 120 seconds into a zone. It runs away after 150 seconds, so weaken it and throw a Poke Ball before then. The PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists every challenge.
Electabuzz moves in PokeBonk
Each League Pokemon has a fixed kit of four moves. Move 1 is equipped from the start; moves 2, 3 and 4 are offered as new-move cards at player levels 2, 4 and 7. A run holds three moves until you buy the 4th move slot in the Lab. Hit damage below is the move's base hit at level 1 before your stats, items and type bonus; cooldowns shrink with attack speed.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks | Base hit | Cooldown |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Thunder Punch | Electric | Physical | Strike | Start | 22 | 0.86 s |
| 2 | Wild Charge | Electric | Physical | Charge | Level 2 | 28 | 2.16 s |
| 3 | Thunder Cage | Electric | Special | Vortex | Level 4 | 45 | 3.31 s |
| 4 | Bolt Strike | Electric | Physical | Meteor | Level 7 | 71 | 4.08 s |
Electabuzz passive: Motor Drive
Every time you paralyze an enemy you gain +2% damage for 4 s (up to 15 stacks).
Thunder Punch, Wild Charge, Thunder Cage, and Bolt Strike match Electabuzz's type, so they deal 25% more damage (same-type bonus). Moves can also be learned from its learnset and from other League members of the same type, which the PokeBonk beginner guide explains.
Electabuzz Ultimate in PokeBonk
Electabuzz's Ultimate gets stronger as the line evolves: each form has its own version. Press R (Y on a controller) when the bar is full, or turn on Auto Ultimate with the Y key. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how the bar charges.
| Form | Ultimate | Duration | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electabuzz | Chained Thunder Punch | 1.6 s | You jump from enemy to enemy throwing six thunder punches that paralyze, and finish with an enormous bolt on yourself. With Maturity, more punches and a final electric storm. |
Electabuzz stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electabuzz | 0 | 106 | 7.3 | 1.07x | 1.02x | 1.05x | 1x |
