While most electric types are known for their great speed, or in the case of some fighting electric types, a combination of speed and strength, this electric evolution of the Chichi relies on being able to take a hit and still remain standing. Jalaputas also share the quirk of their evolutionary line in that instead of remaining a chinchilla upon evolution, they become a meerkat.

The Thunder Stone applied to them brings about slight changes, besides the obvious shift from chinchilla to meerkat. A height increase is the most notable, as most Jalaputa are on the tall side, ranging from an even five feet to around six and a half feet tall. The bust of the pokegirl jumps very little averaging out at a solid C cup. Like the preevolution of the breed, the appearance of the Jalaputa is split evenly between furred near human members and those with ears and tails to denote them as pokegirls. Fur on the ears and tial, or body in the case of furry variants, range from simple browns and yellows to bright electric blue with bold yello body markings. In this case, the cream yellow replaces the bold yellow, and the brown replaces the blue. On the ears and tail, this is usually shown by a simple yellow tip to the tail, with the darker color covering the rest of the furred appendages. Rarely, yellow tips are seen on the rounded ears of the breed. On individuals with fur, muzzles might be slight or nonextistant, and the body fur is primarily yellow with darker blue or brown mottling, which may become stripes across the back. From the wrists and ankles, the darker fur is prominent, though there are variations of the breed. The stripes and spots vary by individual, and even twins have different patterns.

Because these meerkat pokegirls do not have the usual speed or agility enhancements that is the norm the breed is often considered 'slow' or 'lazy' but this is far from the case. Jalaputas are vigilant pokegirls, and often preform tasks that they think would benefit their tamer or harem. Many tamers, however, choose the Jalaputa for just this reason, liking that these electric rodent pokegirls are more at a human's pace, and not actually lazy like the Electrocat. These pokegirls are often in high demand in the industry sector as well, since the breed is not as hyperactive as most other electric types.

In battle, Jalaputas rely on their electric abilities that the electricity they can readily fire is faster than most pokegirls can move. They also tend to charge their bodies with electricity and use the Roll Out attack, effectively becoming a living Rolling Spark attack. This attack earned the breed their nickname, after the strange slower moving lightening phenomenon. While their endurance is good, this attack is draining, and breed can't use it indefinitely. While the breed does well against elemental types that they're strong to, ground and rock types can defeat them easily.

In the wild feral Jalaputas tend to form large families, living in burrows and foraging for food that usually includes bug types, particularly Bug types that have the Flying element as well. Families of these meerkat pokegirls can grow in upwards of 20 or more individuals making capturing one dangerous unless a few pokegirls that are strong to Electricity are employed. These pokegirls though slower than most electric types, are more vigilant, usually having one to three sentries posted in higher locations. With warning calls given from the sentries allowing most of the other Jalaputas to take cover before danger strikes. Tamers are encouraged to target sentries, since they tend to leave the danger at the last minute.

While more rare than thresholding into a Chichi, thresholding directly into a Jalaputa tends to happen more to human girls with family histories of electric types as well as Chichis or other rodent breeds. The tail is the first appearance of threshold, starting as itching and throbbing pain at the tail bone, afterward, the ears begin their migration and transformation as the threshold progresses.
