Which Electric type Pokemon should I use in XY?

2 minute read

I have a habit of always having a Fire, Grass, Water, Flying, andElectrictype. Well, I am playing XY and am wondering if I should useHelioptile,Pikachu, orEmolga? I will evolve the Helioptile or Pikachu (if chosen).

I would like to know:-Which Electric type you recommend-Recommended move-set for selected-Reason why you chose what you chose

Thank you!

Don’t use any of them.The best electric for xy ingame would be magneton.Although it comes after lavarre gym, its pretty good. And it comes in its evolved form, magneton. And its level is 37-38. Its special attack is high and other stats are average. Eviolite make it more bulky. And when it evolves, its special atk become higher. Its typing has the most ressistances of all Pokemon. Its movepool is great. It has thunderbolt, flash cannon, tri attack and many good moves. It can defeat the remaining gyms easily. It starts shining when it defeats team flare’s poison and flying Pokemon. It can handle siebold-drasna easily and thanks to its steel type, diantha too.Moveset: thunderbolt, flash cannon, volt switch and barriar/thunder wave.Then I would choose helioptile because its special atk and speed are good. These two stats are useful for finishing the game quickly. Its movepool is better than magneton. It can defeat elite four and gyms quickly.Moveset: thunderbolt, surf, grass knot and parabolic charge.

I recommend Zapdos. Not only does it have high Sp. Atk and Speed, but played correctly, it could be catastrophic against your opponent.

For its moveset, this is my Zapdos' moveset, but you don’t have to use it if you don’t want to;

Zapdos@Zap PlateThunderboltFly(for and HM and STAB)Zap CannonRoost

However, to get Zapdos in X or Y, you will have to pick Fennekin as your starter, so if you didn’t pick Fennekin, you either have to start a new game or get a Zapdos off the GTS.

Anyway, hope I helped!

My Opinion:helioptile because its a good Pokemon to start IMO and its evolutionHelioliskforParabolic Chargeand its good speed but I am not a X n Y player but I think it will be good
