Discharge has less power than Thunderbolt however, it is the Electric type version of Scald and has a 30% chance to paralyze over just 10%. Charge Beam has a 70% chance to increase the Special Attack stat by one stage which could potentially be used to pick up strength fast if you really wanted to try that. Now since I consider some of these moves to not be as good as others to say the least I will not be including the following: Electro Ball, Electroweb, Parabolic Charge, and Thunder Shock. This move inflicts the Paralysis status onto your target halving their Speed and causing them to have a 25% (still convinced it's not 75%) chance to be "fully paralyzed" and lose a valuable turn of attacking. And last but by no means least Thunder Wave.

Magnetic Flux is the least useful Electric type status move in singles raising the stage of both defenses on all Minus and Plus Pokemon by 1. Magnet Rise is probably the second best move here allowing the Pokemon to be immune to Ground type moves outside of Thousand Waves, which isn't even released yet, Smack Down + an Ground type move, or Gravity + an Ground type move. Ion Deluge is a +1 priority move that turns all Normal type moves into Electric type moves (basically the same exact thing as Electrify but only with Normal type moves). Electrify is a +1 priority move that turns the move used by the target into an Electric type move. Electric Terrain prevents Pokemon from sleeping and turns Nature Power into Thunderbolt. Eerie Impulse lowers the targets Special Attack stat by 2 stages. Charge raises your Special Defense by one stage as well as increasing damage by an Electric type move done by 1.5x only on the next turn. Now that that's out of the way, onto the good stuff: moves.Ī lot of these moves are moves people have never heard of because they're egg moves of somewhat obscure Pokemon like Magnetic Flux to Klinklang. Having a pretty bad offensive typing and a pretty good defensive typing makes for an overall interesting Pokemon where you're supporting while being offensive while being fast. Only being weak to one type helps these Pokemon with subpar defenses a lot and resisting three types also doesn't hurt it. Types That Hit Electric Not Very Effectively Types That Hit Electric Super Effectively Looking at it I shouldn't always think from a competitive standpoint, after all I can't see anything else that would make much sense. Would like to see another super effective hit for Electric type because of the immunity Ground has to it but Water types would be more troublesome given the fact most get Ice Beam without Electric to stabilize it. Speaking of Ground types.Īll and all pretty balanced. Without Ground types to stabilize these quick monsters, they would run rampant and do a lot of chip damage as well as generating a lot of momentum for the team they're on. Along with the use of the Electric type status Paralyzation these Pokemon will be mostly outspeeding you and Volt Switching to gain momentum and do it quickly. This list will not include Z-move or G-max exclusives, since those moves are overpowered and typically exclusive to one or two Pokemon.Electric is one of my least favorite type honestly but I'm still going to do a favorite about them starting with the stat breakdown courtesy of bulbapedia:Īs you can probably see, Electric types are mostly special attackers without much bulk but a lot of Speed. Often, they have the chance to paralyze, which is useful, but also hit-or-miss since a Pokemon has a chance of ignoring the paralysis each turn. In general, Electric-type moves have great effects on the opponent.
#Electroweb bulbapedia update#
This update will add five additional moves to the list. Updated August 14th, 2021, by Jeff Drake:This list had 15 Electric-type moves before this update, but that leaves out many great moves that deserve to be mentioned. As such, a lot of the best Electric moves are simple and straightforward powerful attacks, but Electric also offers some of the best supportive moves in the series. They’re often characterized as fast, heavy-hitters, such as common picks like Jolteon. Pokemon of the lightning-imbued, yellow-hued persuasion always tend to be popular picks in battles, both casual and competitive. RELATED: Pokemon: Ranking The Most Shocking Electric Pokemon It's no surprise that high-ranking trainers in the franchise use them prominently. Most importantly, Electric only has one weakness and offers great coverage offensively (just watch out for pesky Ground-types). That fact alone has probably done wonders for Electric’s reputation. The franchise’s resident rodent mascot, Pikachu, is an Electric-type, after all. Electric-type Pokemon have always been held in high regard.
