The '''Electric type''' (Japanese: '''でんきタイプ''' ''Electric type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Notable {{pkmn|Trainer}}s who [[Type expert|specialize]] in Electric-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} are the [[Gym Leader]]s [[Lt. Surge]] of [[Vermilion City]], [[Wattson]] of [[Mauville City]], [[Volkner]] of [[Sunyshore City]], [[Elesa]] of [[Nimbasa City]], [[Clemont]] of [[Lumiose City]], and [[Trial Captain]] [[Sophocles]] of the [[Hokulani Observatory]]. Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Electric-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.
The '''Electric type''' (Japanese: '''でんきタイプ''' ''Electric type'') is one of the eighteen [[type]]s. Electric-type [[move]]s are super effective against {{t|Flying}}- and {{type|Water}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}}, while Electric-type Pokémon are weak to {{type|Ground}} moves.

==Characteristics==
===Additional effects===
===Defense===
In [[Generation I]], Electric-type Pokémon cannot get {{stat|paralyzed}} by damage-dealing Electric-type [[move]]s, but can get paralyzed by other means. From [[Generation VI]] onward, Electric-type Pokémon cannot get paralyzed at all.  
Overall, Electric types have average {{stat|Defense}} and above average {{stat|Special Defense}}. As a single type, Electric is one of only two types to have only one weakness, the other being the {{t|Normal}} type. Electric types have a key resistance to the quite common {{t|Flying}} type, which is used mainly as an offensive type. The downside to this is that {{t|Ground}} type attacks are very common.


{{m|Thunder Wave}}, being one of the most reliable forms of inducing paralysis, is commonly seen on a wide variety of defensive Pokémon. Prior to [[Generation V]], only Ground types were immune to Thunder Wave. As of [[Generation VI]], Electric-type Pokémon are immune to {{status|paralysis}}, making many of them ideal sweepers.
When the move {{m|Mud Sport}} (introduced in [[Generation III]]) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is decreased by 67% (50% prior to [[Generation V]]). When {{m|Electric Terrain}} (introduced in [[Generation VI]]) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to [[Generation VIII]]) if the user is [[grounded]].  


Although pure Electric-type Pokémon only have resistances to other Electric-type moves, {{t|Flying}}, and {{t|Steel}} (which is rarely used offensively), many dual-typed Electric-type Pokémon (such as {{p|Magnezone}}) have secondary types that give them a large total number of resistances. Also, due to their single weakness to Ground, pure Electric-type Pokémon with the [[Ability]] {{a|Levitate}}, such as {{p|Eelektross}}, have no weaknesses.
All {{type|Normal}} moves become Electric-type moves when affected by the moves {{m|Ion Deluge}} (introduced in Generation VI) or {{m|Plasma Fists}} (introduced in {{g|Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon}}). If the target is affected by the move {{m|Electrify}} (introduced in Generation VI) before it uses a move, the target's move becomes Electric-type for that turn.


===Offense===
==Pokémon==
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 {{DL|Damage modification|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}}.
As of [[Generation IX]], {{PAGESINCATEGORY:Electric-type Pokémon|pages}} {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} or {{#expr: ({{PAGESINCATEGORY:Electric-type Pokémon|pages}}/{{numpkmn}}*100) round2}}% of all Pokémon are Electric-type (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their [[List of Pokémon with form differences|forms]], including [[Alolan form]]s), causing it to tie with {{t|Dragon}} as the fourth rarest [[type]] among Pokémon after {{t|Ghost}} and before {{t|Rock}}, {{t|Ground}} and {{t|Steel}}. After the introduction of {{p|Pawmo}}, {{p|Pawmot}}, and {{p|Iron Hands}} in Generation IX, all other types have been paired up with Electric at least once, making the Electric type the fifth type to have this trait after {{t|Flying}}, {{t|Water}}, {{t|Psychic}}, and {{t|Dark}}.  


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}} and {{m|Signal Beam}} through [[TM]]s or [[Move Tutor]]s, respectively.
The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. {{DL||Changed types|Some Pokémon}} have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.
 
Electric-type Pokémon, on average, have the lowest Attack of fully evolved Pokémon.
 
===Contest properties===
When used in {{pkmn|Contest}}s, Electric-type moves tend to be {{OBP|Cool|condition}} moves, though they can also be other conditions.
 
==Pokémon==
As of Generation VI, there are 42 Electric-type Pokémon or 5.8% of all Pokémon, making it the 5th rarest type, tied with {{t|Steel}}.

==Moves==
==Moves==
As of [[Generation IX]],  there are 50 Electric-type [[move]]s, which makes up 5.35% of all moves (excluding those that are Electric-type only under certain circumstances), making it the 6th most common type among moves, after {{t|Water}} and {{t|Dark}} and before {{t|Fire}}.
Prior to [[Generation IV#Advances in gameplay|changes in Generation IV]], all damaging Electric-type moves were [[special move|special]], but they may now also be [[physical move|physical]] depending on the attack.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
* [[Generation V]] introduced the most Electric-type Pokémon of any generation, with eleven, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with three.
* [[Generation IX]] introduced the most Electric-type {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of any [[generation]], with twelve, and [[Generation VI]] introduced the fewest, with three.
* Generation VI introduced the most Electric-type moves of any generation, with seven, and [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest, with two.
* [[Generation VII]] and {{gen|VIII}} introduced the most Electric-type [[move]]s of any generation, each with nine, and [[Generation II]] introduced the fewest, with two.
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation that introduced no dual type Electric-type Pokémon.
* [[Generation III]] is the only generation that introduced no dual-type Electric-type Pokémon.
* Generation VI is the only generation that introduced no pure Electric-type Pokémon.
* Generation VI is the only generation that introduced no pure Electric-type Pokémon.
* All Electric-type moves introduced in [[Generation I]] begin with the word "Thunder".
* The Electric type is tied with the {{t|Normal}} type for having the fewest weaknesses.
* Electric is the type represented by a Gym Leader in the greatest number of regions, with five—an Electric-type Gym is present in every region except for [[Johto]], which lacks one due to the [[Vermilion Gym]] in [[Kanto]] also being accessible in games featuring Johto.
* All Electric-type moves introduced in [[Generation I]] have names beginning with the word "Thunder".
** Therefore, an Electric-type Gym is present in every [[core series]] Pokémon game.
* In the first season of the {{pkmn|anime}} and during much of [[Generation I]], the {{type|Rock}} was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Electric-type attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the {{p|Geodude}} and {{p|Rhyhorn}} [[evolution]] lines, and {{p|Onix}}) were part {{type|Ground}} and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only Rock-type Pokémon who aren't also Ground-type around at the time (the then five [[Fossil]] Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
* In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks was treated inconsistently during the [[original series]] and early parts of ''[[Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire]]'', notably during ''[[EP005|Showdown at Pewter City]]'', where [[Ash's Pikachu]] was able to hurt [[Brock's Onix]] by simply having his voltage raised and Onix being doused in water.
** Ironically, the move {{m|Soak}}, introduced in [[Generation V]], has exactly the effect of the latter.
* The Electric-type is tied with the {{type|Ice}} for having the fewest Pokémon that can [[Mega Evolution|Mega Evolve]], having two each.
* In ''[[AG007|Tree's a Crowd]]'', {{an|Brock}} states that {{type|Grass}} Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass-type Pokémon are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric-type attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.

Latest revision as of 19:18, 6 March 2024

The Electric type (Japanese: でんきタイプ Electric type) is one of the eighteen types. Electric-type moves are super effective against Flying- and Water-type Pokémon, while Electric-type Pokémon are weak to Ground-type moves.

Battle properties

Note: Type effectiveness multipliers may vary in other games outside the core series.

Additional effects

In Generation I, Electric-type Pokémon cannot get paralyzed by damage-dealing Electric-type moves, but can get paralyzed by other means. From Generation VI onward, Electric-type Pokémon cannot get paralyzed at all.

When the move Mud Sport (introduced in Generation III) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is decreased by 67% (50% prior to Generation V). When Electric Terrain (introduced in Generation VI) is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is increased by 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) if the user is grounded.

All Normal-type moves become Electric-type moves when affected by the moves Ion Deluge (introduced in Generation VI) or Plasma Fists (introduced in Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon). If the target is affected by the move Electrify (introduced in Generation VI) before it uses a move, the target's move becomes Electric-type for that turn.

Pokémon

As of Generation IX, 73 Pokémon or 7.12% of all Pokémon are Electric-type (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their forms, including Alolan forms), causing it to tie with Dragon as the fourth rarest type among Pokémon after Ghost and before Rock, Ground and Steel. After the introduction of Pawmo, Pawmot, and Iron Hands in Generation IX, all other types have been paired up with Electric at least once, making the Electric type the fifth type to have this trait after Flying, Water, Psychic, and Dark.

The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

Trivia

  • Generation IX introduced the most Electric-type Pokémon of any generation, with twelve, and Generation VI introduced the fewest, with three.
  • Generation VII and VIII introduced the most Electric-type moves of any generation, each with nine, and Generation II introduced the fewest, with two.
  • Generation III is the only generation that introduced no dual-type Electric-type Pokémon.
  • Generation VI is the only generation that introduced no pure Electric-type Pokémon.
  • The Electric type is tied with the Normal type for having the fewest weaknesses.
  • All Electric-type moves introduced in Generation I have names beginning with the word "Thunder".
  • In the first season of the anime and during much of Generation I, the Rock-type was often wrongly assumed to be unaffected by Electric-type attacks. This was likely due to the fact that at the time, most Rock-type Pokémon (namely the Geodude and Rhyhorn evolution lines, and Onix) were part Ground-type and thus immune to Electric-type moves. However, the only Rock-type Pokémon who aren't also Ground-type around at the time (the then five Fossil Pokémon) were actually weak to them.
  • In the anime, Ground-type Pokémon's immunity to Electric-type attacks was treated inconsistently during the original series and early parts of Pokémon the Series: Ruby and Sapphire, notably during Showdown at Pewter City, where Ash's Pikachu was able to hurt Brock's Onix by simply having his voltage raised and Onix being doused in water.
    • Ironically, the move Soak, introduced in Generation V, has exactly the effect of the latter.
  • The Electric-type is tied with the Ice-type for having the fewest Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, having two each.
  • In Tree's a Crowd, Brock states that Grass-type Pokémon resist Electric-type moves due to being able to diffuse the electricity into trees and the ground. He also explains that if Grass-type Pokémon are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric-type attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.
