| Y Alpha Sapphire |
The energy made in its cheeks’ electric pouches is stored inside its membrane and released while it is gliding. |
| Sun | It glides using its cape-like membrane. Electrical energy scatters from it, shocking its friends and foes alike. |
| Moon | It grills berries and bug Pokémon with electric shocks and makes a meal of them. It usually nests in the holes gouged in trees by Pikipek. |
| Ultra Sun | They store up electricity to fly through the air. When thunder cracks at night, sometimes there are almost enough of them to blot out the sky. |
| Ultra Moon | As it flies, it scatters electricity around, so bird Pokémon keep their distance. That’s why Emolga can keep all its food to itself. |
| Sword | As Emolga flutters through the air, it crackles with electricity. This Pokémon is cute, but it can cause a lot of trouble. |
| Shield | This Pokémon absolutely loves sweet berries. Sometimes it stuffs its cheeks full of so much food that it can’t fly properly. |
