#179.5 - A family of Mareep, Flaaffy, and Ampharos is colloquially known as a rainbow flock, due to the range of colors this Pokemon goes through as it evolves. Maturing Mareep can easily be picked from its younger companions due to the gradual loss of their wool, as well as their change of skin color; however, the sphere at the end of its tail will not change color until it is near to completing its evolution. Mareep generate static electricity as their wool rubs together, and as they age and begin to store and more and more electricity, they will begin to develop patches with even downy wool won’t grown.
#180.5 - Flaaffy have rubbery, electricity-resistant skin that keeps them from being shocked by the electricity stored in their own wool. As Flaaffy get older, the mane-like arrangement of wool covering their upper body continues to recede, revealing an additional orb on its forehead that was actually present, but smaller, when they were Mareep. As they continue to lose wool from generating too much electricity, they will begin to generate and store electricity in their orbs instead; their tail orb in particular can shine extremely bright. At this point in their evolution, they no longer ever walk around on four legs.
#181 Mega - Ampharos are capable of Mega evolving once they have finished maturing, as long as their trainer possesses the Key Stone, Ampharosite, and a powerful bond with the Pokemon. As Ampharos Mega Evolve, their electrical power is amped up considerably, causing their dormant wool gene to be reactivated, and their heads and tails to grow luxurious white fur. To store the abundance of electricity, they sprout additional orbs on their tail, which will glow once they have been fully charged with electricity. Mega Ampharos actually generate so much raw energy that they gain the Dragon type upon Mega Evolving, often throwing off unaware opponents.
