Electric-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Flying}}- and {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Electric-type Pokémon are weak to {{type|Ground}} moves. | ||

== | ===Additional effects=== | ||
= | In [[Generation I]], Electric-type Pokémon cannot get {{stat|paralyzed}} by damage-dealing Electric-type [[move]]s, but can get paralyzed by other means. From [[Generation VI]] onward, Electric-type Pokémon cannot get paralyzed at all. | ||
Electric-type Pokémon | |||
When the move {{m|Mud Sport}} (introduced in [[Generation III]]) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is decreased by 67% (50% prior to [[Generation V]]). When {{m|Electric Terrain}} (introduced in [[Generation VI]]) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to [[Generation VIII]]) if the user is [[grounded]]. | |||
All {{type|Normal}} moves become Electric-type moves when affected by the moves {{m|Ion Deluge}} (introduced in Generation VI) or {{m|Plasma Fists}} (introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}). If the target is affected by the move {{m|Electrify}} (introduced in Generation VI) before it uses a move, the target's move becomes Electric-type for that turn. | |||
==Pokémon== | ==Pokémon== | ||
As of Generation | As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Electric-type Pokémon|pages}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Electric-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Electric-type (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their [[form]]s, including [[Alolan form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Dragon}} as the fourth rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Ghost}} and before {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Steel}}. After the introduction of {{p|Pawmo}}, {{p|Pawmot}}, and {{p|Iron Hands}} in Generation IX, all other types have been paired up with Electric at least once, making the Electric type the fifth type to have this trait after {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}. | ||
The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced. | |||

==Moves== | |||
As of [[Generation IX]], there are 50 Electric-type [[move]]s, which makes up 5.35% of all moves (excluding those that are Electric-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 6th most common type among moves, after {{t|Water}} and {{t|Dark}} and before {{t|Fire}}. | |||

==Abilities== | |||
===Interacting with the Electric type=== | |||
A {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} with {{a|Protean}} or {{a|Libero}} will become an Electric-type Pokémon if it uses an Electric-type [[move]]. A Pokémon with {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Imposter}}, {{a|Mimicry}}, {{a|RKS System}}, or {{a|Multitype}} will become an Electric-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with an Electric-type move, is sent out against an Electric-type opponent, if the [[terrain]] is {{m|Electric Terrain|electric}}, if it is holding an [[Electric Memory]], or if it is holding a [[Zap Plate]] or [[Electrium Z]]. | |||
Since Generation VI, Electric-type Pokémon are also immune to becoming paralyzed from the {{Abilities}} {{a|Static}}, {{a|Synchronize}}, or {{a|Effect Spore}}. | |||

* | * [[Generation IX]] introduced the most Electric-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with twelve, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with three. | ||
* [[Generation VII]] and {{gen|VIII}} introduced the most Electric-type [[move]]s of any generation, each with nine, and [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest, with two. | |||
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation that introduced no dual-type Electric-type Pokémon. | |||
* | * Generation VI is the only generation that introduced no pure Electric-type Pokémon. | ||
* The Electric type is tied with the {{t|Normal}} type for having the fewest weaknesses. | |||
* | * All Electric-type moves introduced in [[Generation I]] have names beginning with the word "Thunder". | ||
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the {{type|Rock}} was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Electric-type attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} [[evolution]] lines, and {{p|Onix}}) were part {{type|Ground}} and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only Rock-type Pokémon who aren't also Ground-type around at the time (the then five [[Fossil]] Pokémon) were actually weak to them. | |||
** | * In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks was treated inconsistently during the [[original series]] and early parts of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', notably during ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'', where [[Ash's Pikachu]] was able to hurt [[Brock's Onix]] by simply having his voltage raised and Onix being doused in water. | ||
** Ironically, the move {{m|Soak}}, introduced in [[Generation V]], has exactly the effect of the latter. | |||
* The Electric-type is tied with the {{type|Ice}} for having the fewest Pokémon that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], having two each. | |||
* In ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]'', {{an|Brock}} states that {{type|Grass}} Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass-type Pokémon are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric-type attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage. | |||

Latest revision as of 17:50, 15 July 2024
The Electric type (Japanese: でんきタイプ Electric type) is one of the eighteen types. Electric-type moves are super effective against Flying- and Water-type Pokémon, while Electric-type Pokémon are weak to Ground-type moves.
Battle properties
Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.
Generation I
Offensive properties of Electric-type moves | ||
---|---|---|
Super effective (×2) | Not very effective (×½) | No effect (×0) |
Flying Water | Grass Electric Dragon | Ground |
Defensive properties of Electric-type Pokémon | ||
---|---|---|
Weak to (×2) | Resists (×½) | Immune to (×0) |
Ground | Flying Electric | None |
Generation II onwards
Offensive properties of Electric-type moves | ||
---|---|---|
Super effective (×2) | Not very effective (×½) | No effect (×0) |
Flying Water | Grass Electric Dragon | Ground |
Defensive properties of Electric-type Pokémon | ||
---|---|---|
Weak to (×2) | Resists (×½) | Immune to (×0) |
Ground | Flying Electric Steel | None |
Additional effects
In Generation I, Electric-type Pokémon cannot get paralyzed by damage-dealing Electric-type moves, but can get paralyzed by other means. From Generation VI onward, Electric-type Pokémon cannot get paralyzed at all.
When the move Mud Sport (introduced in Generation III) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is decreased by 67% (50% prior to Generation V). When Electric Terrain (introduced in Generation VI) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) if the user is grounded.
All Normal-type moves become Electric-type moves when affected by the moves Ion Deluge (introduced in Generation VI) or Plasma Fists (introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon). If the target is affected by the move Electrify (introduced in Generation VI) before it uses a move, the target's move becomes Electric-type for that turn.
Pokémon
As of Generation IX, 73 Pokémon or 7.12% of all Pokémon are Electric-type (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their forms, including Alolan forms), causing it to tie with Dragon as the fourth rarest type among Pokémon after Ghost and before Rock, Ground and Steel. After the introduction of Pawmo, Pawmot, and Iron Hands in Generation IX, all other types have been paired up with Electric at least once, making the Electric type the fifth type to have this trait after Flying, Water, Psychic, and Dark.
The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

Moves
As of Generation IX, there are 50 Electric-type moves, which makes up 5.35% of all moves (excluding those that are Electric-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 6th most common type among moves, after Water and Dark and before Fire.
Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Electric-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack.

Trivia
- Generation IX introduced the most Electric-type Pokémon of any generation, with twelve, and Generation VI introduced the fewest, with three.
- Generation VII and VIII introduced the most Electric-type moves of any generation, each with nine, and Generation II introduced the fewest, with two.
- Generation III is the only generation that introduced no dual-type Electric-type Pokémon.
- Generation VI is the only generation that introduced no pure Electric-type Pokémon.
- The Electric type is tied with the Normal type for having the fewest weaknesses.
- All Electric-type moves introduced in Generation I have names beginning with the word "Thunder".
- In the first season of the anime and during much of Generation I, the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Electric-type attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the Geodude and Rhyhorn evolution lines, and Onix) were part Ground-type and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only Rock-type Pokémon who aren't also Ground-type around at the time (the then five Fossil Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
- In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks was treated inconsistently during the original series and early parts of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, notably during Showdown at Pewter City, where Ash's Pikachu was able to hurt Brock's Onix by simply having his voltage raised and Onix being doused in water.
- Ironically, the move Soak, introduced in Generation V, has exactly the effect of the latter.
- The Electric-type is tied with the Ice-type for having the fewest Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, having two each.
- In Tree's a Crowd, Brock states that Grass-type Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass-type Pokémon are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric-type attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.
