#181 Ampharos

“Ampharos (Japanese: デンリュウ Denryu) is an Electric-type Pokémon introduced in Generation II.
It evolves from Flaaffy starting at level 30. It is the final form of Mareep.
Ampharos can Mega Evolve into the Electric/Dragon Mega Ampharos using the Ampharosite.
Ampharos was officially revealed in the May 1997 issue of CoroCoro, along with Donphan and Slowking.
Ampharos is a yellow, bipedal ovine Pokémon with a white belly. It has conical ears with black stripes and a red orb on its forehead. Its long neck has several black rings around it near the base. Its stubby arms resemble flippers and each foot has a single white nail. It has a long, black-striped tail with a red orb at the tip. The orb on its tail can shine so bright, that it can be seen from space. People have used the light as a beacon, or to send signals across the ocean. Ampharos is generally found in grasslands, though it can also be found in farms alongside its pre-evolved forms Mareep and Flaaffy. As mentioned in Pokémon Sleep, the tail light of a sleeping Ampharos can sometimes seen in the distance at night. The reason is due to Ampharos forgetting to turn off its tail light before going to sleep.“-Bulbapedia.
