Totally agree -- It's the best of the choices.

But if some moves such as Gravity, Smack Down, Skill Swap ect are used, or the opponent has Mold Breaker, Ground types do 2x damage.

But hey, theres only a small chance of that. ^

Ampharos is probably my favorite Electric Type in a Pokemon game besides Raichu, ever. He was incredibly strong and consistent for me but I admit I havent even used any of the other choices besides Zebstrika and once my Emolga took him down... I knew he was useless to me as far as being my main electric type.

Ampharos! Good move variety like it can learn Signal Beam to counter grass types.

Why isn't Luxray up there?

Luxray is my choice. It can see through walls when you are hiding and it's a pretty good Pokemon to battle with!

...Where's Zapdos? I don't see him on the list... :\

Ampharos is usually my electric Pokemon of choice, although Zebstrika is also awesome. (Paper thin defences, though.) And of course Zapdos is awesome too.

Although... whatever happened to Magnetric, Pikachu... Jolteon? Are they hiding under your bed? :D

 

[Ice Car]

Zerbawesome for the win. Oh wow, I'm the only voter. COME ON, HOW'S ABOUT SOME MORE LOVE FOR THE ZEBRA.

 

[mew_nani]

Well... to be fair, if there was a "They're all awesome!" button on the list, I woulda pushed it. :D They're all pretty cool.

Eelekrtoss, for obvious reasons -- best base stat of the four, and it has Levitate against ground-type pokemon, so that means it also have no weaknesses! ^3^ It also has a nice access to flamethrower, and a great Special Attack / Attack stat to boot. <3 Also, a really nice art as well. <3

 

[Pokemon Trainer Touko]

Zeburaika for the win! It's prettier than the others imo. ^____^

 

[Hikamaru]

I was deciding between Eelektross and Zebstrika. I know Eelektross has no weaknesses, but Zebstrika looks awesome I'm planning to get one on to my team in Pokemon Black.

Ampharos..
Always had a special spot for it in my Pokemon Heart.. :3

With the way the discussion is heading, I'm going to change the topic's title into "Which Electric-type Pokémon do you prefer to use?" and move it over to Pokémon Gaming Central seeing as it can cover all games. If you want team help, then you can ask for it in the In-Game Team Help forum.

By the way, my Electric go-to Pokémon is always Electivire.

 

[Sydian]

Manectric somehow manages to make it on my team a lot...hmm.

 

[GirlyGirl]

i chose ampharos because its so adorable & i LOVE Flaafy :P

 

[Meganium]

Ampharos because it it's moveset. I'd also like to add Luxray because of it's amazing stats. You can't have a strong party without either one of them.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Where is Jolteon? Really, its blazing speed and excellent Special Attack makes it my preferred Electric-type.

Sorry, Zebstrika... I tried using you in White, but until you get a decently powered physical Electric attack that doesn't cause recoil...

 

[Spellbound]

I used Zebstrike in my White playthrough and Amphaross in my HG playthrough, both are pretty strong :)

 

[Heart Gold]

I'm getting Elektross, overall it is better. It has good attack and special attack (better than both Zebstrika's sp. atk and atk). Also it has decent defenses (better than Zebstrika's horrible). Also it has slightly better HP and a better movepool! The only thing Zebstrika has over it is it's speed.

Forgot about Galvantula though, is it any good :?

I might put Zekrom in it's place though because it's so cute and fluffy! I usually never use legendaries but I <3 Zekrom...
