Electivire can use attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, except that Electivire's attacks will be more powerful. However, Electivire is also capable of knowing Flamethrower, Earthquake and Rock Slide. Electrical attacks are unable to do any damage to Electivire, but they will instead stimulate its muscles so it can move faster.

Origin
Electivire seems to be based on a yeti. It is also very likely to be based on a gorilla. However, its Motor Drive ability which boosts speed after being struck by an electric attack by stimulating its muscles to help move faster is similar to Mary Shelly's Frankenstein which was created by electricity.
Name origin
Elekibull is believed to be combination of エレキテル electricity and ブル bull. Electivire is based off of the word "electricity" and "wire", as in the two cord-like tails it has. Its name could have also been based off of "virus", referring to computer viruses, or vampire, because its ability "feeds" off of electric attacks. Its German name, Elevoltek, comes from Elektro-, volt Technik. Its French name, Elekable, comes from électrique and câble.
