Descriptions recorded in these games. This list does not establish where the Pokémon can be caught or transferred.

X · Omega Ruby

They make their home in deserts. They can generate their energy from basking in the sun, so eating food is not a requirement.

Y · Alpha Sapphire

The frills on either side of its head have cells that generate electricity when exposed to sunlight.

Sword

When spread, the frills on its head act like solar panels, generating the power behind this Pokémon’s electric moves.

Shield

The sun powers this Pokémon’s electricity generation. Interruption of that process stresses Helioptile to the point of weakness.
