Zebstrika (Pokémon)

Zebstrika (Equus perrii in reference to Perry) is a species in the genus Equus. Males usually tend to be larger in size. Male and female dominate over the Blitzles in a herd. A male is called a stallion, a female is called a mare and a group is called a dazzle or herd.





Description
No two Zebstrikas look the same. Zebstrika is a large, herbivorous, hoofed mammal, or ungulate, that's mainly black and white. It has blue eyes bordered in a white spiky eye ring; however, it may differ in some individuals.

Behaviour
Zebstrikas produce electricity when they run. It is unknown whether they communicate with electricity in the ground via their feet, like Luxio.

They can communicate by a mix of bioluminescent cells and electricity stored in their stripes.

They also produce various sounds including braying, snorting and it is not limited to body language.

They may also turn their pinnae around, depending on where the sound is coming from.

They often use the fehlman response when a mare is in heat.



Reproduction
The dominant male tends to mate with females, and the dominant female tends to mate with the males. The reason appears to be unknown, but it may have something to do with natural selection.

Zebstrikas have rock-hard hooves, however; they can easily break, especially when the "frog" of the hoof cracks. Near the poll, is a pair of lightning-esque pair of crests on its mane, or "false ears". Its mane continues down its back until it forms a spiky tail.
