Electric-type Pokémon:
Characteristics
Defensively, the Electric-type is fairly well off. Its resistances aren't especially notable aside from Flying, but it has only one weakness, to Ground. Having only one weakness means Electric-type Pokémon can take a few hits while dishing out heavy damage or using stat-boosting moves. However, Earthquake is a very popular and powerful Ground move for Pokémon that focus on physical moves. Many Electric types can use Magnet Rise, thus giving them temporary immunity to Template:Type2 moves.
Offensively, the Electric-type is also pretty well off. Flying and Water are fairly common types, while all its resistances are rare. Ground-type Pokémon can be covered by a Hidden Power of the right type.
Also, Pokémon like Pikachu can learn the move Grass Knot which applies more damage to heavier foes and, as Ground-types are typically heavy, this should be extremely effective.
In total, there are 29 Pokémon with the Electric-type.

Trivia
- The three Electric-type gym leaders all have light colored hair. Lt. Surge and Volkner both have blond hair, and Wattson has white hair.
- In the anime, the Electric-type has had some degree of exclusivity with Ash, as his Pikachu was the only Electric-type Pokémon owned by a main character up until Dawn captured Pachirisu in Twice Smitten, Once Shy.
- Each Electric-type gym leader is seen wearing a military-style outfit; Lt. Surge wears a uniform reminiscent of that of Vietnam soldiers, Wattson wears what appears to be an aviator's jacket, and Volkner wears what appears to be a military uniform similar to that of the dress uniform of Turkish troops.
- Each Generation has at least one Electric type Pokémon starting with the letters E, M, & P. In fact, the ones starting with E all start with the three letters ele.
- Ironically, the letters EMP together can stand for electromagnetic pulses, which short circuit, or even destroy, electronic items.
- In Generation III, all damaging Electric moves were of the Cool contest type. The only non Cool move was Charge.
- There is yet to be a Pokémon with double resistance to the Electric-type, though there are multiple types which do resist it.
- Because Electric's only weakness is to Ground, a pure Electric-type Pokémon with Levitate would have no weaknesses unless Gravity is used, the Pokémon is holding an Iron Ball or the foe has Mold Breaker.
- Magnemite and Magneton were originally exclusively Electric-type in Generation I until Generation II and on, when it became an Electric-type and Template:Type2. Obviously, Magnezone has always been an Electric/Steel type.
- The sprites of most Electric-type Pokémon flash yellow when they are brought into battle in Pokémon Emerald, Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum.
