What are Lithium's moves, and the real science behind them?
Battery Surge
In the game: A sharp electric hit. The real science: Lithium atoms are so small they slide through a battery and carry a charge from one end to the other.
Water Fizz
In the game: Big hit with recoil. The real science: Lithium is a metal that is dying to dump a leftover bit, and water lets it do that so fast the leftover hydrogen bubbles and pops.
Mood Metal
In the game: Calm an ally (lower their wildness). The real science: Tiny amounts of lithium are used as medicine that steadies the brain’s signals — a quiet real use, not a joke.
