    What should I use for my Electivire? Right know it knows:

    Thunder punch
    Ice punch
    Fire punch (To be deleted by CC/LK)
    Earthquake

    Which move is better?

    Cross Chop IMHO, quite simply because if they switch in something thats light, Low Kick does less to it.Where as Cross Chop, you get a increased critical hit rate and also you know roughly what the power will be of the move.

    I also like mixed Vire where Thunderbolt>Thunderpunch for Skarmory and the likes.@Life Orb or Expert

    Cross Chop is an obvious choice. If you go with thunderbolt, for a MixedVire, I suggest HP[grass] in place of EQ.

    Cross Chop for Critical Hits! Have always Ice Punch for ground types... the biggest threat for Electivire are Swamperts...

    Cross chop not so much for critical hits, but for power. Low kick is unreliable, although cross chop's accuracy aint so hot. Still, power is needed on sweepers. However, low kick eats rhyinferior and the heavy guys. Still, CC>LK IMO.

    He could use Low Kick for Swamperts... a base 100 damage... not very good... USE CC!

    The question has been answered...but what doesn't make sense is your comment...100 base power is great...in fact, that's what CC has to begin with...so yeah, that didn't make any sense.
