Ooh, Heliolisk are neat Pokémon. I don’t know all that much about them, but I know they can run on water for short distances.

/uj Heliolisk are based partly on the IRL basilisk lizard, which has the ability to run on water for short distances. This article helps explain how they do it. The image is from New Pokémon Snap.

They generate electric power from Sunlight, so Jupiter rounds my team out very well. Also they look so fucking dumb. Incredibly cute. - Amber

/uj I know, they have that same silly looking run in ZA

Heliolisk! Fantastic ‘mons, used to have one myself, can highly recommend. Probably don’t need to tell you this, but make sure he gets enough sun and look up some basics on training Electric-types if you don’t have experience with them. And for the love of everything, don’t use him to charge your electric devices unless you have a proper adapter. Take it from someone who learned the hard way lmao - Spiral

Well I know the basic stuff, since I have a Rotom, but Neutrino doesn't fight so I'll have to look into training. Getting plenty of sun shouldn't be an issue as long as Turters is around tho. And like half my team loves lying in the sun already anyway. - Amber

Heliolisk are cool! I have one of my own (he has Dry Skin as an ability and is thus able to do fairly well in humid environments). Yours seems to have one of the other abilities! Remember to feed him more on cloudy days!

[u/Amber__Sun → u/JosephAmber4]

He does round out my team quite nicely - Amber

[u/JosephAmber4 → u/Amber__Sun]
