Electric (type): Difference between revisions

On average, Electric types have average {{stat|Defense}} and above average {{stat|Special Defense}}. As a single type, Electric is one of only two types to have only one weakness, the other being the {{t|Normal}} type. The downside to this is that Ground attacks are very common types offensively.  While they also have a small number of resistances, many dual type Electrics have secondary types giving them a large total number of resistances, such as {{p|Magnezone}} who, along with its pre-evolved forms, has the most resistances of all Pokémon. Also {{p|Eelektross}}  and its family, pure Electric-type Pokémon, have the Ability {{a|Levitate}} effectively giving them no weaknesses. Regardless, the two resistances (other than themselves) are rarely used offensively.

In Contests, Electric-type moves are usually [[Cool Contest|Cool]]; no Electric-type move is considered [[Tough Contest|Tough]].
