Characteristics
Defense
Electric is tied with the Normal type for having the fewest weaknesses. Because of their single weakness to Ground, it is possible for pure Electric-type Pokémon to have no weaknesses by becoming airborne through having the Ability Levitate (for example, Eelektross), the held item Air Balloon, or being under the effect of Magnet Rise or Telekinesis. Starting in Generation VI, 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 30% (50% prior to Generation VIII) 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 IX, there are 73 Electric-type Pokémon or 7.12% of all Pokémon (counting those that are Electric-type in at least one of their forms, including Alolans), making it the fourth rarest type after Ghost and before Steel. All other types have been paired up with Electric at least once.
The Pokémon below are listed by their current types. Some Pokémon have had their types changed, usually when a new type was introduced.

A Pokémon with Protean or Libero will become an Electric-type Pokémon if it uses an Electric-type move. A Pokémon with Color Change, Imposter, Mimicry, RKS System, or Multitype will become an Electric-type Pokémon if (respectively) it is hit with an Electric-type move, is sent out against an Electric-type opponent, if the terrain is electric, if it is holding an Electric Memory, or if it is holding a Zap Plate or Electrium Z.
Since Generation VI, Electric-type Pokémon are also immune to becoming paralyzed from the Abilities Static, Synchronize, or Effect Spore.

In the TCG
- Main article: Lightning (TCG)
Lightning-type Pokémon in the TCG are generally weak to Fighting and Lightning with resistances to Metal and Fighting. Lightning-type Pokémon are strong against Water and any Pokémon that is a Flying-type in the games, whilst some Fighting Pokémon can resist this type.
Trivia
- Generations V and IX introduced the most Electric-type Pokémon of any generation, both with eleven, 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 and IX introduced the fewest, both 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.
- All Electric-type moves introduced in Generation I contain 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 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 non-Ground Rock-type Pokémon 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.
- As of Generation IX, the Electric-type has been paired with every other type.
- The Electric-type is tied with the Ice-type for the least Mega Evolutions, having two each.
- In That New Old Gang of Mine!, Ash's Rotom Phone listed the Rotom Pokédex as a pure Electric type.
- 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 types are in the air, they cannot diffuse the electricity from Electric attacks, thereby dealing normally effective damage.
