Rentorer (レントラー Rentorā?) are one of the 493 fictional species of Pokémon creatures from the multi-billion-dollar[1] Pokémon media franchise – a collection of video games, anime, manga, books, trading cards, and other media, created by Satoshi Tajiri. Rentorer is famous for being one of the Pokémon revealed before the Japanese release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. The purpose of Rentorer in the games, anime and manga, as with all other Pokémon, is to battle both wild Pokémon, untamed creatures encountered while the player passes through various environments, and tamed Pokémon owned by Pokémon trainers.[2]

[edit] Biological Characteristics

Rentorer resembles a fully-grown lion. It has long black fur on its head, chest, legs, and back. Other parts of Rentorer are light blue, creating a unique appearance. Rentorer has two oval ears beside its head and a long tail with a four-pointed yellow star at the tip.

Rentorer's gold eyes are specially designed for X-ray vision, which enables this predatory Pokémon to spot hiding prey, even if hidden behind a wall.

The manes of female Rentorer are slightly shorter than those of their male counterparts.

[edit] In the video games

Rentorer is one of many new Pokémon to make its first appearance in the release of Pokémon Diamond and Pearl for the Nintendo DS.

It is obtained by evolving Kolink into Rukushio at level 15, and finally into Rentorer at level 30.

Rentorer is used by the eighth gym leader in Sinnoh, Denji, at level 49.

Rentorer is only vulnerable to Ground-type Pokémon and, although it has a very high Attack stat, it has a poor movepool to take advantage of this. It is notable in its mediocre speed, which is a rare attribute for Electric-type Pokémon. Rentorer's Belligerence ability raises its Attack power by 50 percent when the opponent is of the same gender as Rentorer. It is one of the three Stage 2 Electric-types in the series, the other two being Ampharos and Jibacoil.
