9-Volt (Colton)

9-Volt is Colton's Galvantula, and the fourth he ever encountered.

Personality

9-Volt is excitable and energetic but not strictly positive. He has a habit of meeting new people with excitement and joining in on things without warning, leading to him letting himself down a bit, but remaining invested in new things, up to and including opponents.

Despite his peppiness and energy, he's surprisingly down-to-Earth sometimes. He attributes this to the years spent with Kendall in semi-retirement back in Castelia City after the events of Black and White. He knows what people see in him, and wants them to see what he is, rather than what they think he is.

Battle Strategy

9-Volt enjoys being a nuisance in battle, though there is a lot of power to him he tends to hide. While he often prefers to be more annoying, holding a Pokémon in place with Infestation before blasting them down with Thunder, he knows how to play both defensive and evasive, as quick to paralyze and set up as he is to blast them with Thunder.

Known Techniques

• Bug Buzz, Infestation, Signal Beam, Sticky Web, Struggle Bug
• Electroweb, Thunder, Thunder Wave, Thunderbolt, Volt Switch
• Giga Drain

Trivia

• 9-Volt has three additional variants of Electroweb. Electroweb-Alpha is a more compounded version useful for close quarters, Electroweb-Beta is very useful when fighting a large amount of opponents, even if the move is weaker, and Electroweb-Delta is an entry hazard that paralyzes the next ‘mon that enters before being neutralized.
  • Alpha and Beta are effectively their game equivalents, but Delta is entirely unique to WAAPT.
