In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', during Paul's battle against {{an|Barry}} in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Electabuzz was revealed to have evolved into Electivire. It fought against Barry's Empoleon and, despite taking some damage from {{m|Spikes}} and Empoleon activating {{a|Torrent}}, won with ease. | In ''[[DP184|Casting a Paul on Barry!]]'', during Paul's battle against {{an|Barry}} in the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]], Electabuzz was revealed to have evolved into Electivire.

Paul used it as his last Pokémon in his quarterfinal battle against Ash in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''. Whilst battling [[Ash's Gliscor]], Electivire was shown to have adapted Ash's unpredictability under the hands of Paul to quickly defeat Gliscor despite the type disadvantage. It was then up against Pikachu, which both Pokemon seemed evenly matched until Ash purposefully activated its {{a|Motor Drive}} Ability to lure Electivire in for a close-range attack. However, this plan backfired as Electivire was able to overpower and defeat Pikachu. Finally, it battled Infernape for the victor. After a heated battle, Electivire used Thunder against Infernape, seemingly defeating him. However, after being scolded by Paul for the final time, Infernape stood back up and activated his {{a|Blaze}} Ability. After a fierce exchange of blows, Infernape managed to barely defeat Electivire, losing Paul the battle. | Paul used it as his last Pokémon in his quarterfinal battle against Ash in ''[[DP188|Battling a Thaw in Relations!]]''.

Natural of its species, Electivire was aggressive, brutish, and nasty from its debut as an Elekid, reflecting Paul's own attitude. In ''[[DP050|Tag! We're It...!]]''; when {{AP|Pikachu}} approached and greeted it, Elekid falsely appeared to greet him back, only to hit Pikachu once he turned away, an example of Elekid being nasty for the sake of being nasty. Like Paul, it hates to appear weak and if ever helped, it would clean the slate with the other side but still be annoyed that it was helped at all. Despite the harsh training it undergoes with Paul, Electivire always seems to be happy battling, and unlike some of its comrades, it never shows any form of resentment or resistance to Paul; {{TP|Paul|Torterra}}, for instance, would independently help others against Paul's wishes, and {{TP|Paul|Honchkrow}} would take Paul's harsh words to heart. | Natural of its species, Electivire was aggressive, brutish, and nasty from its debut as an {{p|Elekid}}, reflecting Paul's own attitude.

When both were under Paul's command, Elekid always looked down on Chimchar, thinking of it as inferior to itself and feeling pleasure whenever it belittled him. Over time, however, Electivire grew to respect Infernape's increasing power; as an {{p|Electabuzz}}, it was surprised yet amused and glad to see that Chimchar had evolved into {{p|Monferno}} during their battle at [[Lake Acuity]], with Ash's Pokémon also returning the respect towards Paul's. Infernape and Electivire's growing mutual respect for the other's strength reached its peak during their final battle at the [[Lily of the Valley Conference]]; when the referee was about to declare Infernape unable to continue, Electivire angrily stopped him from ending the fight and taunted Infernape to get back up, despite the fact that Infernape's loss would mean Paul winning the battle. It seemed extremely delighted to see Infernape getting back to its feet, wanting to prolong their battle for as long as possible. After Infernape bested Electivire, it was visibly smirking at seeing Infernape on top, and finally viewed Infernape as its equal. | ||

Despite Electivire's harsh training and the general atmosphere around Paul—and despite its Trainer's constant scolding and tough treatment—Electivire never really showcased any signs of fear around Paul, and in fact seemed quite content and comfortable in his company. Instead, Electivire actually appeared to be slightly afraid of Paul's brother [[Reggie]] despite the latter's much nicer demeanor, seen as when Electabuzz pulled a prank on {{AP|Pikachu}} during the latter's visit to [[Veilstone City]]. Electabuzz attempted to sneak away upon Reggie's arrival, only to be caught and reprimanded, with Electabuzz laughing sheepishly to excuse its actions. | Despite Electivire's harsh training and the general atmosphere around Paul—and despite its Trainer's constant scolding and tough treatment—Electivire never really showcased any signs of fear around Paul, and in fact seemed quite content and comfortable in his company.
