Good Electric Types?
Submitted Answers
-
Electivire is great for its high physical attack, so is Zapdos for special attack. Also consider that many pokemon can learn electric attacks, such as Gengar or Starmie
-
Use another pokemon . Is pikachu, ampharos or denryuu, shinx, electrive, any. Is help you for no use legendaries pokemon.
-
Raichu with : thunder bolt, volt tackle,irontail,body slam
-
There are any number of Electric types to use--which one you choose would depend on what you plan on using them for--just for breeding, for fun, for competitive battling, etc.
Speed--Pachirisu (can learn Thunderpunch, too), Electrode (but not many Electric attacks)
Special Attack--Magnezone
Speed and Special Attack--Jolteon, Manectric
Attack and Special Attack--Luxray, Electivire (choose between fighting tooth-and-claw or fists-and-feet)
Versatility--Rotom
Most--if not all--can learn Magnet Rise, which will allow you to eliminate Electric-type's sole weakness by changing its ability to Levitate, rendering it immune to Ground attacks. What other attacks you choose will depend on whether you want accuracy, speed, power, multiple targets, etc. -
You move is good i rocemmend do no change again.....
-
Yes you team is good,
-
My personal favorite to use is Magnezone, but that has a 4x weakness to ground attacks. I say use an Electivire. I taught mine Flamethrower, T-Bolt, Discharge, and Brick Break or Psychic. I have two. one knows Psychic, the other one knows brick break. i don't see the point of teaching it earthquake, because i always have my Rhyperior to use that. You could teach it that if you want to though.
-
I usually go for the STAB bonuses, so i taught mine Flash Cannon, Discharge, Lock on, and Zap Cannon. Zap Cannon has really crappy accuracy, so the Lock on is important. It's a good moveset when you have the right pokemon to back it up.
-
Magnet rise is a pretty good idea. i looked at a list of all its possible moves. if you use your shards and find the right move tutor, it says it can learn signal beam. that's a pretty good bug move. or, if you're looking for another steel move, you can teach it magnet bomb. it's basically a steel version of aerial ace, guaranteed hit.
-
It didn't say on the list i looked at, but i can look around and find out for you.
-
Ok, i found it. You need to go to the Survival area. just to teh right is a rock climb. there's house up there. it takes 2 of each shard. hopefully my sources are right and it can learn that, casue it's good. 75 power adn possibly confusion.
-
It learns Zap Cannon at level 60, i believe.
-
If you mean more suggestions for magnezone, there's mirror shot. not much better than magnet bomb, and its got 85 accuracy. if you mean for electric types in general, i talked about my electivire in my first post. I'm using a raichu right now and its not bad. in terms of move variety, id say raichu is the best. mine knows brick break, t-bolt, discharge, and iron tail. if you don't like those moves, he can also learn focus blast, focus punch, and, again signal beam from the move tutor in the survival area.
-
If you want to go for Electivire still, EQ, and ice punch are good. i think discharge or thunderbolt would be better then thunderpunch. according to the full move list i have, he can't learn cross chop. however, if you still want a fighting move, he can learn brick break, or focus punch, if you want to risk that move. i do not recommend using jolteon, though, because his moveset pretty much sucks. hope this helps.
-
Electrode also learns Mirror Coat at 57. That reflects double the damage taken from special attacks. Its useful when you get in a tight spot. Your other three moves seem good. For Lanturn, I personally don't care for non-offensive moves, but if you want to use them, I think Thunder Wave would be the better one. Instead of Confuse Ray, it learns Signal Beam at 35, (I know i keep suggesting that move, i love it, it's awesome to me. sorry) or you can teach it Charge at level 57. This raises Special Defense, i believe and boosts electric attacks for the next turn. Its good to use if you have the time to power up.
-
Tat's all i can think of. i'll look at your team and see how it looks.
-
I just want to say that anybody using pachirisu is either really stupid or completely wooed by its cuteness. I magikarp's speed stat is only like 5 lower.
-
How about Luxray?
-
Yes luxray is very good
-
If you want a lantern then teach it ice beam that can come in handy
-
There are several pokemon you can use.
Luxray-thunder fang,strength,crunch, and an optional hm move/discharge
Raichu-brick break,thunderbolt,thunder wave, and strength.You can change thunder wave and strength for rain dance and thunder.(beast combo)
electivire-brick break, thunderbolt, psychic, and flamethrower
magnezone-flash cannon,thunderbolt/discharge, lockon, zap cannon
hope it helped -
Electivire, Luxray or Jolteon...
-
I would say Rotom because rotom has levitate, and ground type moves doesn't afftect at rotom, which is AWESOME.
-
Pikachu with volt tackle quick attack iron tail and thunderbolt like ash's pikachu beacause...... pikachu is much faster than raichu but raichu is much more stronger than pikachu or just choose a pokemon that can know electric moves but not electric pokemon
-
Electivire learns Chross Chop as an egg move
Zapdos is OU, not all legends are Uber, some are even NU i think
