LC Elekid

[Lotus]

Elekid @ Life Orb
Ability: Vital Spirit
Level: 5
EVs: 240 SpA / 236 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 9 HP / 0 Atk / 30 SpA
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Psychic
- Hidden Power Grass

Elekid is one of the more dangerous offensive threats in the LC metagame due to its very high Speed paired with its good offensive power with Life Orb. On top of having strong STAB moves to threaten many targets or generate momentum for the team, Elekid also has access to various coverage moves, with Psychic threatening Gastly and Fighting-types, which make up a sizable portion of the metagame, as well as Foongus, which Elekid can effectively handle thanks to Vital Spirit. While Elekid is an excellent revenge killer and wallbreaker due to the aforementioned traits, its lack of defensive capabilities mandates teammates like Mienfoo and Vullaby to pivot and give Elekid a safe switch. Offensive checks to Ground-types like Snivy and Staryu can provide Elekid with support in speed control with Glare and entry hazard removal, respectively, and have good offensive synergy with Elekid.

Ready for QC.

high offensive stats and superb Speed.

High offensive stats at 16 is pushing it. Focus more on the fastest speed tier in the unboosted metagame.

Elekid also has access to various coverage moves, with Psychic being one of them to threaten Fighting-types

Elekid generally uses Psychic on Poison types, mainly Gastly and Foongus. Having Vital Spirit makes it a wonderful way to handle the Spore user.

We should also really mention why HP Grass is used over other Hidden Powers. I don't even really think HP Ground should be on the set it's so uncommon.

support options of Speed control

??? If this includes removing Sticky Webs, it's pretty redundant.

Let me know when you make these changes and I'll stamp this.

edit: QC 1/1

Implemented. I hope I did it correctly...
