Is it just me or are the outstanding majority of Electric and

There are many of them who specialise in physical attacks, but not many physical Fire and Electric moves. Ones who aren't bipedal like Flareon get screwed out of the elemental punches, the main physical attacks of their respective types.

This. Wild charge is still the physical electric move that's not exclusive to a certain pokemon. It has recoil damage but only 90BP

>Ampharos - shit coverage (Dragon Pulse, Signal Beam), meh supportive movepool, slow and not even that bulky; Mega fixes coverage problem with dual STAB, but it's slow as shit and can't even pull Agility sets off effectively
>Dedenne - shitmon lmao
>Eelektross - shit speed + mixed attacking stats with unimpressive bulk relegates it to being an average pivot and wallbreaker; at least it has very good coverage unlike most other Electric types and great ability
>Electivire - a physical electric type, which is fundamentally shit because Wild Charge is shit, TPunch is weak and all better moves are restricted to singular Pokemon; kinda saved by mixed potential and great coverage
>Electrode - shitmon lmao
>Emolga - shitmon lmao
>Galvantula - decent dual STAB, coverage (Giga Drain), ability (Compound Eyes + Thunder) and support moves (Sticky Web); overall decent mon despite low BST, but frality is still a problem
>Heliolisk - most of the above applies here
>Jolteon - abysmal coverage (Signal Beam) unlike the above and limited support movepool, its only saving grace is its speed
>Lanturn - finally an Electric type with Ice Beam (but only because it's part-Water, lmao GF), but it's a case of lowBST mon that pays for its bulk with bad attack AND speed; only usable as a defensive pivot
>Luxray - a shittier Electivire
>Magnezone - dual STAB walled by other Electrics and no coverage to redeem it; slow as fuck, limited support options, only ever used because Magnet Pull is totally competitive unlike Shadow Tag
>Manectric(-M) - Flamethrower is legit, but doesn't save it from being one of many special Electric types that rely on Hidden Power to threaten any Ground types
>Pachirisu - shitmon lmao
>Plusle/Minun - shitmon lmao
>Raichu - an inferior Heliolisk

>Raikou - Jolteon's big brother, with all the same flaws; at least it has Calm Mind to set itself apart, but is still forced to rely on Hidden Power
>Rotom formes - most of them are used for their supportive capabilities will Wisp + Pain Split or ChestoRest and their dual STABs all do the job
>Stunfisk - it's an ok pebble setter I guess
>Thundurus-I - part-Flying with no Flying STAB to use and no particular redeeming factors other than its two awesome abilities and high enough raw stats to put them to use
>Thundurus-T - higher raw power than above to break through defensive mons, but has all of the same problems as above
>Zapdos - a defensive spin on the above
>Zebstrika - yet another inferior Electivire

>this is my favorite type
The suffering never ends.

>>31735387
just think about how many electric types in competitive still run hidden power.
Both Magnezone and Zapdos do and they're some of the more prolific.

>>31735387
You think that's suffering?
My favorite type is Rock.
>inb4 some Icefag blusters in about his pain is greater than ours

>>31735481
rock types at least get really strong coverage.
