GoldStadium 2	It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it charges up only a little bit.
Silver	Even in the most vicious storm, this POKEMON plays happily if thunder rumbles in the sky.
Crystal	It loves violent thunder. The space between its horns flickers bluish-white when it is charging energy.
