Ampharos

⚡

On Pokopia Island it gravitates toward elevated positions where its tail-beacon can be seen from a distance, and several players have built dedicated lighthouse-style platforms at the top of their island's highest point specifically to give Ampharos a perch worthy of its light.. Ampharos is an Electric-type Pokémon distinguished by the brilliant red orb on its tail and forehead, which shines as a lighthouse beacon visible from great distances. The fully evolved form of the Mareep line, Ampharos has a calm, dependable presence that makes it one of the most reassuring Pokémon to have established in a habitat

DJ Rotom has attempted to incorporate Ampharos's pulse into a live set, timing tracks to sync with the light — the result was universally described as the best outdoor event the island has ever seen, even by Pokémon who ostensibly weren't paying attention.. Ampharos is drawn to environments with high Lighting sub-scores and a combination of Harbor Streetlights and Utility Poles, which it seems to view as kin. Its idle animation includes a periodic full-brightness pulse from its tail orb that briefly illuminates nearby Pokémon, causing them to look up in surprise before settling again
