Electric-type Pokémon often have high {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats. | Electric-type Pokémon often have high {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats. Also, the fact that they are immune to [[Paralysis (status ailment)|Paralysis]] as of Generation VI (unless said type is removed by moves such as {{m|Soak}}) makes many of them ideal Special sweepers. The Electric type's ability to hit the very common {{t|Water}} and {{t|Flying}} types super effectively is also important for many offensive Pokémon. Moreover, the Electric-type pairs well with other common attacking types, including {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Dragon}} and {{t|Ice}}. Despite a lack of reliable powerful moves, {{m|Thunderbolt}} is one of the most commonly used moves due to its mix of power, accuracy and type coverage. {{m|Thunder}} also sees common usage on {{m|Rain Dance}} based teams due to its perfect accuracy in rain. Additionally, {{m|Thunder Wave}}, being one of the most reliable forms of inducing paralysis, is commonly seen on a wide variety of defensive Pokémon. The resistances to the Electric type are also largely redundant, with the obvious exception of the {{t|Ground}} type's immunity. | ||
