Volbeat is a Bug-type Pokémon. It isn't known to evolve from or into any other Pokémon.
Volbeat is considered to be the male counterpart to Illumise.
Biology[]
Volbeat slightly resembles a firefly in appearance. Its body, wings, and face are blue, and its body has two yellow stripes. Its back (or possibly shell), as well as its arms and legs are black. Its long, curly antennae are yellow with black stripes. The irises of his eyes are yellow, and its face seems to display a sad or forlorn expression. Possibly Volbeat's most important feature is its yellow, glowing tail, which it uses to communicate, draw patterns in the night sky, and use Tail Glow.
