Electrode


     Electrode is one of those pokemon where you say "hey, I don't know why the Pokejump has decided to defend this guy, I like Electrode" Well, that's a fill-in the blank statement. I love_________(fill in underestimated pokemon here) Why is ________(rival's name here) trashing __________(fill in underestimated pokemon here). Well, when you have so many overconfident jerks saying he's just a pokeball with a face, The Pokejump has to step in and/or step on. Now, Electrode isn't exactly someone you should love on from day 1. He is a pitiful defender, and his special attack is mediocre at best, but with his suberb speed, he can do a good number on your snooty rival.
     Moveset: Thunderbolt, Electro Ball, Explosion/Mirror Coat, Magnet Rise
Electrode may be pretty weak, but he's fast. Speed is the redemption for most, and Electrode is no exception. Being ridiculously speedy, Electro Ball does hefty damage, as it's based on how fast Electrode is compared to the opponent Thunderbolt is for anyone who's also quick, as quick usually means low defenses.  Because of the lack of defenses, Magnet Rise protects Electrode from threats such as Gigalith and Dugtrio.
     Counters: Any Ground Type
Electrode has a kinda' shallow movepool, and if you do what I put up, which is your best shot, Pokemon that have Earthquake or especially Bulldoze to lower speed are very dangerous. You can't attack, and with Magnet Rise, they can't either. Withdrawing would be your only option.
