* 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 attacks.

* 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. | * 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. | ||
