Electrike are small, green, dog-like Pokémon with yellow markings. Four fangs are discernible when their mouth is open, with two on the upper jaw and two on the lower. Electrike have a small pointed yellow-tipped tail, and as its hind legs have spikes on the heels, in certain positions it gives the appearance of Electrike possessing three tails. Its forelegs and chin also have spiky extensions, but their most distinctive feature would be their large head crest, which has angular lightning-like patterning on the sides, with a continuation of the yellow coloration down their snout. Electrike's additional yellow coloration would include the stripe down its back, its half moon-shaped paw pads on its forefeet and its circular paw pads on its hind feet.
