Galvantula is a Bug/Electric-type Pokémon species from the Unova region, whose juvenile stage is called Joltik.
Biology[]
This Pokémon physically resembles a large fuzzy spider, whose body consists of a cephalothorax and abdomen. Its cephalothorax contains four legs, a couple of pedipalps, a pair of large eyes and two pairs of additional smaller eyes on its forehead.
Galvantula uses its electrical abilities to produce webs of electrically-charged silk which stuns prey that falls into it, thus leaving the prey helpless and prone to be easily consumed. It can also shoot charged threads directly from its mouth to attack or to defend itself against an opponent.
Joltik[]
Joltik
Galvantula's juvenile stage is only 10 cm in size and, unlike its evolution, doesn't seem to have any segmentation. As a result it resembles a fuzzy, yellow-colored quadrupedal mite, more than a spider. It has two pairs of blue eyes, with the main pair being much larger than the additional one.
As Joltik cannot produce their own electricity, they habitually cling to the fur of larger Pokémon to feed off the static electricity generated by them, which is stored in the Joltik's electric pouch. Members of the species which live in cities tend to attach themselves to outlets instead.
