When attacked, they create an electric barrier by spitting out many electrically charged threads. It creates barriers from electrified silk that stuns foes. This works as a weapon as well as a defense. So, here it is, the one-hundred & thirty-fifth entry, Galvantula.

Some new information has been released about the upcoming mobile title, Pokémon GO. In this, it details how the battles work.

If you win the battle, the prestige of the gym is lowered and if it hits zero, the controlling team of the gym loses control and your team gets control. Prestige can be increased by training your Pokémon at the gym.
