Unfortunately it has no resistances either.
Its got a decent physical set because its only recovery move is Drain Punch (Giga Drain is just awful) but its not the best.
Its not bad, either, and if youre just playing in game even if its pvp (against friends), it's not the worst choice by far. Ive had success with Eelektross,
It's also based on an electric eel, idiot.
>>28113770
The Japanese name is Shibirudon and shibireunagi means electric eel. Keep crying about the localization team being wrong though.
>>28113816
>Hold baloon
Why? it already gets levitate.
>>28113826
Resists flying that's for sure
>>28113816
Shame that Wonder Guard can't be swapped.
>>28113838
Not if it has Wonder Guard like anon said
>>28113838
If you could swap wonder guard onto it, the balloon would then be needed. The only move that could hit it are ground. Balloon could not be popped as all other attacks would get wonder guarded off.
>>28113794
>Is this thing viable?
No, not really. How often do you see it used anywhere? Not very often, and there's a reason for that. Shit speed, average bulk and mixed offenses capping at base 115 don't really take you anywhere. All of this is very sad really because it has great movepool and no weaknesses under normal battle conditions so it could be very useful. It's just that everything good about it is ruined by its awful stats.
>>28113816
>>28113872
would still get affected by status, entry hazards and weather
>>28113882
>>28113826
Fuck you Eelektross is GOAT
>>28113808
What's wrong with Morelull?
And Patrat's name in japanese also refers to rats.
>>28113910
Yes, I too have an Eelektross in my Black version team, but that doesn't make it good. Don't act like Eelektross is somehow worth using in any official format.
>>28113728
>Draws a manitee
>calls it "SEEL"
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
>Is GF retarded
Uhh no it's clearly just their localization team
Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ shibire (numbness) or しびれうなぎ shibireunagi (electric eel) and don (from the Latin dominus, lord) or ὀδούς odoús (Greek for tooth).
Oh... ok
So GF is retarded or they think their audience is
>>28114163
Lampreys don't produce electricity. Electric eels do. Who's retarded again?
>>28113822
>Implying eels AREN'T birds
Fun fact: Electric eels are not eels.
Bonus fact: jackrabbits are not rabbits, they're hares. What the fuck is wrong with the world?
This isn't nearly as bad as Beedrill.
It's neither a bee, nor does it has drills. Its japanese name is literally Spear.
It's a wasp with spears: a Waspear. Was that so difficult, guys?
>>28113794
It's decent but it's nothing special
>>28114619
Saying Eelectross is an electric eel because it produces electricity is like saying Pikachu is one too.
>>28115245
It's a yellow jacket
>>28113841
no but you can do this http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogondoubles-152050467
>>28115245
Beedrill is a reperence to the american band the bee drills. Waspear isn't anything noteworthy.
>>28115206
>Bonus fact: jackrabbits are not rabbits, they're hares
I still don't understand why there are different words for these
we just call them domestic and wild rabbits here
>>28115865
Same Family but hares are a different Genus.
>>28116102
no, I understand the fact that they're different biologically but for example in my language we don't have different words for frogs and toads, turtles and tortoises, hares and rabbits etc
it was always funny to me
>>28116282
There's a more distinctive difference between turtles and tortoises than any of those others.

this show keeps memeing it up so hard there will soon be an electro/steel pokemon which drives people to work because it looks like a train and shit.
