Living electrical wires honestly aren't too out-there when it comes to Pokemon, really. But Xurkitree is kinda cool, even if he has a dumb name. Yeah, I get it, it's like "circuitry" except you say it with the world's worst accent, that's not clever or interesting.
I think this guy would be better if his "limbs" were interchangeable, instead of being dedicated arms/legs/tail. Especially if he could walk around on 3 legs, that's such a weird thing that nothing in the natural world does. But going around like he is, seems more goofy than unnerving.
The biggest problem, though, is that his head appears to be literal spikes, instead of a sparking ball of electricity. We've got animated models, why do they keep missing obvious places to put particle effects and stuff? Happens with Magmortar's shoulder flames, too.
Ultra Grade: B-
