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 weaknesses 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.

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.
