Overview

The small orange frills surrounding a Heliolisk’s neck are in fact part of a much larger black collar which can unfold into a light-absorbing disk around the Pokémon’s head. The greater area of a Heliolisk’s frills allow it to create electricity through the photoelectric effect much more efficiently than Helioptile; when fully charged, a single Heliolisk can provide enough electricity to power the lights of an entire skyscraper. Heliolisk also use electricity to stimulate their own muscles. They can cover 100 yards (91 meters) in merely five seconds and even run across the surface of water for a brief period of time using the extra strength provided by jolts of electricity. However, they must recharge after such energy-demanding tasks. Heliolisk spend much of their time standing still with their frills unfolded in the sun to gather energy. When they attack, the tips of their frills will glow brightly. During mating season, these diurnal Pokémon will unfold and light up their frills to attract mates. Individuals with the largest frills are deemed the most attractive.
