DEALING WITH GROUND WEAKNESS
Ground is Electric's ONLY weakness, but it's a big one:
- Use Electric/Flying types (Zapdos, Emolga) — immune to Ground!
- Pair with Grass or Water types that resist Ground moves
- Carry Ice Beam to handle Ground types offensively
- Levitate ability also grants Ground immunity
ELECTRIC IN PVP

- Volt Switch lets you scout and switch advantage
- Thunder Wave cripples fast opponents
- Speed control is Electric's greatest strength
