The Electric type (Japanese: でんきタイプ Electric type) is one of the eighteen types. Prior to changes in Generation IV, all damaging Electric-type moves were special, but they may now also be physical depending on the attack.

Characteristics
Defense
Electric is tied with the Normal type for having the least weaknesses. Because of their single weakness to Ground, pure Electric-type Pokémon with the Ability Levitate, such as Eelektross, have no weaknesses.
From Generation VI onward, Electric-type Pokémon are immune to paralysis.
Offense
The Electric type pairs well with other common attacking types, especially Ice because it is super-effective against Ground (which Electric has no effect on), as well as the Electric-resistant Grass and Dragon.
When Electric Terrain is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves is increased by 50% if the user is on the ground. When Mud Sport is in effect, the power of Electric-type moves used on Pokémon affected by Mud Sport is decreased by 50%. All Normal moves become Electric moves when affected by Ion Deluge or Plasma Fists, and all of a Pokémon's moves become Electric moves when that Pokémon is affected by Electrify.
Contest properties
When used in Contests, Electric-type moves tend to be Cool moves, though they can also be other conditions.
Pokémon
As of Generation VIII, there are 60 Electric-type Pokémon or 6.7% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their forms, including Alolans), making it the 5th rarest type.
