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 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 VII, there are 51 Electric-type Pokémon or 6.3% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their forms, including Alola Forms), making it the 5th rarest type.
