Something Worth Fighting For
[OVERVIEW]
Despite being able to viably run a Choice Scarf, Electrike is wholly outclassed in Little Cup due to its mediocre stats and average movepool by Magnemite, Chinchou, and Elekid, with the former two having secondary STAB options. While Electrike possesses Switcheroo, a useful utility option that can cripple bulky Pokemon such as Foongus, it isn't enough to warrant using Electrike on any competitive team.
[SET]
name: Choice Scarf
move 1: Volt Switch
move 2: Thunderbolt / Hidden Power Grass
move 3: Flamethrower
move 4: Switcheroo / Thunderbolt
item: Choice Scarf
ability: Lightning Rod
nature: Timid
evs: 240 SpA / 236 Spe
ivs: 0 Atk / 30 SpA
[SET COMMENTS]
Electrike's best set is to make use out of a fast Volt Switch to revenge kill weakened Pokemon. However, a Choice Scarf set is still outclassed by other, more prominent Electric-types such as Magnemite, Chinchou, and Elekid. Electrike is also considerably frail andis susceptible to priority moves from Pokemon such as Pawniard, Timburr, and Croagunk. Lastly, Electrike lacks power against neutral targets, meaning that it requires foes to be significantly weakened before it can threaten to KO them, while Electrike itself isn't overly difficult to check.
