Calm Mind Raging Bolt is a potent wallbreaker and setup sweeper for Electric teams, possessing a high Special Attack, excellent defenses, and incredible priority in Thunderclap to pick off faster foes like Sneasler and Ceruledge. With Devastating Drake, Raging Bolt breaks through bulkier targets like Mega Venusaur and Archaludon, and it also applies tremendous pressure on bulky Ground-types, having a high chance to KO Gliscor without a boost, OHKOing specially defensive Swampert at +1, and providing good odds to OHKO Water Absorb Clodsire at +1. With its typing, Raging Bolt switches in against foes like Mega Charizard Y and Ogerpon-W and threatens them out with its STAB moves. Thunderclap lets Raging Bolt revenge kill faster threats like Greninja and Enamorus as well as Iron Valiant at +1. 136 Speed EVs allow Raging Bolt to outspeed Jolly Ursaluna and specially defensive Heatran. Rotom-W and Zapdos provide crucial Ground-immune teammates for the team. Rotom-W can take on threats like Sand Rush Excadrill, Mega Swampert, and Choice Scarf Landorus-T, and Zapdos can remove foes like Ferrothorn and Tapu Bulu and serve an offensive or defensive role, assisting against Ground and Fighting teams. Tapu Koko threatens Dragon- and Dark-types like Latios, Hydreigon, and Weavile, and with Grass Knot and Hidden Power Ice, it helps in alleviating Ground matchups, removing threats like Landorus. Tapu Koko also sets Electric Terrain to boost Raging Bolt's Electric-type moves, most notably allowing it to OHKO bulkier threats like Mega Diancie and Galarian Darmanitan with +1 Thunderclap. Iron Hands and Choice Band Zeraora eliminate special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Blissey as well as Ferrothorn while also covering Ice- and Dark-types like Kyurem and Mega Tyranitar. Regieleki and Alolan Raichu offer valuable speed control. Regieleki possesses incredible natural Speed, outspeeding Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, Iron Valiant, and +1 Volcarona, while Alolan Raichu can outspeed +1 Roaring Moon, Choice Scarf Meowscarada, and even Sand Rush Excadrill when under Electric Terrain. Raging Bolt appreciates entry hazard control from teammates like Rotom-W, Zapdos, and Regieleki.

Possessing a high Special Attack, excellent defenses, access to Calm Mind, and incredible priority in Thunderclap, Raging Bolt becomes a potent wallbreaker and sweeper for Electric teams. (this doesnt tell me anything meow, why is it great on Elec anyway? Which threats does it beat [aside from what you listed in the next sentence meow]) Devastating Drake applies tremendous pressure on bulky Ground-types, having a high chance to KO Gliscor without a boost, OHKOing specially defensive Swampert at +1, and providing good odds to OHKO Water Absorb Clodsire at +1. Thunderclap allows Raging Bolt to revenge kill faster threats like Greninja and Enamorus, as well as Iron Valiant, at +1. 136 Speed EVs allow Raging Bolt to outspeed Jolly Ursaluna and specially defensive Heatran. Rotom-W and Zapdos make excellent additions, providing a crucial Ground immunity for the team. Rotom-W can take on threats like Sand Rush Excadrill, Mega Swampert, and Choice Scarf Landorus-T, and Zapdos can remove foes like Ferrothorn and Tapu Bulu, and serve an offensive or defensive role, assisting against Ground and Fighting teams. Tapu Koko threatens Dragon- and Dark-types like Latios, Hydreigon, and Weavile, and with its access to Grass Knot and Hidden Power Ice, it helps in alleviating Ground matchups (maybe mentioning concrete targets, like Landorus which bolt cant with, would be nicer). Tapu Koko also sets Electric Terrain to boost Raging Bolt's electric moves, most notably allowing it to OHKO bulkier threats like Mega Diancie and Galarian Darmanitan with +1 Thunderclap. Iron Hands and Choice Band Zeraora eliminate special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Blissey as well as Ferrothorn while also covering Ice- and Dark-types like Kyurem and Mega Tyranitar. Regieleki and Alolan Raichu offer valuable speed control. Regieleki possesses incredible natural Speed, outspeeding Choice Scarf Tapu Lele, +1 Volcarona and Iron Valiant, while Alolan Raichu can outspeed +1 Roaring Moon, Choice Scarf Meowscarada, and even Sand Rush Excadrill when under Electric Terrain.
