Electrike Description

Electrike is a small Electric-type Pokemon that stores electricity in its fur. It uses that stored electricity to stimulate its leg muscles, giving it quick acceleration and a crackling static charge when it runs.

Electrike Competitive Overview

Electrike is usually used as an early-stage Electric-type option or a pre-evolution for Manectric. Its Speed and Special Attack are its best natural stats, while Static, Lightning Rod and Minus give it utility in different formats. In most full competitive settings, Electrike is outclassed by its evolution, but it can still use Electric pressure, pivoting moves and speed control in limited formats.
