Electivirein Pokémon Polished Crystal
Pokédex Entry
Thunderbolt Pokémon
It pushes the tips of its two tails against the foe, then lets loose with over 20,000 volts of power. Electivire is the evolved form of Electabuzz and adds the Fighting type to Electric type. Its primary ability is Motor Drive which will give it a speed boost when it makes contact with an electric move. Electivire's Attack stat is its highest stat, so if you're using it as an attacker, try to lean into physical attacks instead of special. There are a lot of great options for moves but Thunderbolt and Wild Charge are great choices.
