Electric-type Pokémon often have high {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats. The ability of the Electric type to hit the very common {{t|Water}} and {{t|Flying}} types [[super effective]]ly is important for many offensive Pokémon. Moreover, the Electric type pairs well with other common attacking types such as {{t|Ice}}, which is super-effective against {{t|Ground}} (which Electric is weak to and has no effect on), {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Dragon}}, both of which resist Electric. Additionally, there are only a few Pokémon that have a double resistance to Electric-type attacks. Again, the downside to this is that Electric-type moves are nullified by {{t|Ground}}. | Electric-type Pokémon often have high {{stat|Speed}} and {{stat|Special Attack}} stats.

Most Electric types also have an access of learning {{m|Volt Switch}}, making naturally fast Electric types excellent at keeping momentum in the battle.

Similar to {{t|Grass}}-types, Electric-type Pokémon often have shallow attacking movepools, consisting only of their STAB attacks, {{t|Normal}} moves, and, in most cases, {{m|Hidden Power}} (notably Ice or Fire types) and {{m|Signal Beam}} through [[TM]]s or [[Move Tutor]]s, respectively. Averagely, Electric-type Pokémon have the lowest Attack of fully evolved Pokémon. This can be a problem for physical-oriented Electric-types, as typically their strongest move is {{m|Wild Charge}}. | Similar to {{t|Grass}}-types, Electric-type Pokémon often have shallow attacking movepools, consisting only of their STAB attacks, {{t|Normal}} moves, and, in most cases, {{m|Hidden Power}} (notably Ice or Fire types) and {{m|Signal Beam}} through [[TM]]s or [[Move Tutor]]s, respectively.
