Elekid is a powerful Pokemon in Little Cup, with an unmatched speed tier and a wide range of coverage options that threatens much of the metagame. Elekid's moveset is highly customizable to fit the role it plays on a team. Thunderbolt is Elekid's standard STAB move, threatening big damage on Vullaby, Mareanie, and Wingull. Knock Off can weaken checks such as Mudbray and Chinchou for Elekid to KO them later in the game. Focus Blast is an option over either Thunderbolt or Knock Off, and can be used to OHKO Alolan Diglett and Alolan Sandshrew. Psychic hits Foongus and Mienfoo super effectively. Volt Switch can take advantage of switches that Elekid forces to safely bring in frail attackers such as Alolan Diglett and Stunky. Alternatively, Tera Blast is used with Tera Grass to more directly threaten the aforementioned Chinchou and Mudbray that otherwise comfortably take it on. Tera Psychic boosts the damage Elekid can do to Foongus, Mienfoo, and Glimmet, as well as making it resistant to Choice Scarf Gothita's Psychic.
Elekid complements powerful but frail Pokemon like Alolan Diglett and Wingull through Volt Switch. Additionally, Elekid can use Tera Blast Grass to remove their checks such as Mudbray and Chinchou respectively, giving them an easier time breaking through teams. Elekid struggles to break through Grass-types like Foongus or Grookey, so Vullaby and Alolan Sandshrew make for good teammates. In return, Elekid can threaten opposing Alolan Sandshrew for Vullaby and Mareanie for Alolan Sandshrew.
