Voltorb (Kanto, #100):

This Kanto classic (#100 in the Pokédex) offers 3 Candies and 100 Stardust upon capture. It evolves into Electrode using 50 Candies. Voltorb boasts a max CP of 1141, with 109 Attack and 111 Defense. Its Electric typing makes it vulnerable to Ground-type attacks (160% damage) and resistant to Electric, Flying, and Steel-type attacks (63% damage). The optimal moveset is Spark and Discharge, delivering 5.81 DPS and 40.62 TDO, boosted in Rainy weather. A blue Shiny Voltorb awaits discovery.

Hisuian Voltorb (#100):

Sharing the same Pokédex number (#100), Hisuian Voltorb also yields 3 Candies and 100 Stardust per catch and evolves into Hisuian Electrode with 50 Candies. Stat-wise, it mirrors Voltorb with 1141 max CP, 109 Attack, and 111 Defense. However, its type matchups differ. It takes increased damage from Bug, Fire, Ice, and Poison types (160% damage), while resisting Grass, Steel, and Water types (63% damage), and other Electric types (39% damage). The recommended moveset is Tackle and Thunderbolt, providing 5.39 DPS and 37.60 TDO. Weather boosts are available in Partly Cloudy and Rainy conditions. Look for the shiny variant with its distinctive black body.
