Discharge VS Shock Wave?
Which is better for doubles battles?I’m planning on running it on a Jolteon.
My bad, probably should have added what Pokes I was teaming it with.
My Team at the moment is (My DS is broken atm so I’m going off of memory)Ferrothorn @ Rocky HelmetSassy Nature, Iron BarbsPower WhipStealth RockGyro BallLeech Seed
Greninja @ Mystic Water (Any better items to run on it would be appreciated)Timid Nature, TorrentIce BeamWater PulseGrass KnotHydro Cannon
Charizard @ Charizardite XAdamant Nature, BlazeDragon ClawFire FangFlare BlitzSlash
Jolteon @ MagnetModest Nature, Volt AbsorbThunderboltThunder WaveShadow BallVolt Switch < The move I was going to replace
I usually Start with Ferrothorn/Jolteon
AND Before you start slamming me for my terrible choices on this team please keep in mind that I’m not playing competitively.

Discharge:+) 100 accuracy+) better power+) can paralyze-) it won’t hit if someone uses a evasion move
Shock Wave:+)infinite accuracy+) can paralyze+) can it anything-) not as strong as Discharge-) could not OKHO unless super effictive
In a result: use discharge.
Shock Wave sucks. Use Thunderbolt instead. But in doubles, Discharge is better if your teammate is immune to Electric-type moves. Otherwise, Thunderbolt. But even then, Jolteon isn’t relevant in Doubles where Raikou, Mega-Manectric or even Zapdos and Thundurus are available.
