If we must choose out of the two I would defiantly go for Jolteon due to its unbeatable speed and Volt Switching ability.

Though I suggest neither, instead why not choose Thundurus-T. Your team is weak to Mamoswine either way and the SR damage is easily recovered by switching in on the common electric attack. Your team would benefit from another Pokemon with Levitate as Ground types screw you over badly.

Since this beasts release it has been used over Jolteon for playing a very similare role but hitting 100x harder

But yeah if not Thundurus-t then just go Jolteon and Electrivire has no niche in Ou.

Jolteon. Your team lacks special attackers. It needs moar. Jolteon is a great choice with Signal Beam, Thunder, Shadow Ball, and Hidden Power Water. Or, if you have no access to that ingame, go Hyper Beam, I suppose.

I say jolteon its faster which you don’t have to worry about if you want to soak up electric attacks but most of all its got more special attack wich is what you are going to want in the rain for thunder so here are some good movesets for both of them.

Only do t wave if you have life orb

Hope this helps

Use Jolteon! It’s speed is amazing, and its special attack is awesome!

Jolteon @ LeftoversAbility: Volt Absorb (takes HP in from electric type moves)Trait: Modest (+ Sp. attack - Attack)Nicknames: Zeus, ThorMoveset:Thunder/ Discharge (both are STAB, although, if you do not want to take risks by missing with Thunder, by all means use Discharge as it has a higher hit rate and it is a powerful move)ThunderBolt (STAB, amazing power)ThunderWave (Paralyzes foes)VoltSwitch (STAB, switches out to awaiting Pokémon (on your side))

That is which Pokémon I suggest you use (instead of Elecrtivire), now I will help you on your OU team:

Instead of Salamence, I suggest you use Garchomp, as it is faster and its attack power is amazing!

Garchomp @ Dragon FangAbility: Sand Veil (Increases evasion (makes it harder to hit your Garchomp))Trait: Adamant (+ Attack - Sp.Attack)Nicknames: Slash, BossMoveset:Swords Dance (increases attack power by two)DragonClaw (STAB)DragonRush (STAB, however, it may miss)Earthquake (STAB)Toxic (If you are stuck, use this to make it easier to take out foes)

Toxicroak can be weak due to the low defence stat. If you want to keep him as a physical sweeper, do so, if not, I suggest Conkeldurr:

Conkeldurr @ Black BeltAbility: Guts (increases attack power by 50% if it has a status condition of: poison, burn, paralysis, freeze or sleep)Trait: Adamant (+ Attack - Sp.Attack)Nicknames: IronFist, BAM!!!Moveset:DrainPunch (STAB, regains HP)StoneEdge (Covers flying types)Mach Punch (STAB)BulkUp (increases attack and defence by one)

Hope I helped!
