Eh, Electivire is the ONE Pokemon who gets benefits from getting hit by specifically Electric moves. It seems like such a tiny thing to worry about.
Thanks for pointing out how Calm Mind can work, but replacing Charge Beam with it leaves her way less versatile. Besides, she's still got the most massive HP of the world. I think that would more than make up for lost SDef EVs.
In the long run, Charge Beam would do more damage than Thunderbolt.

Dont ever underestimate Electivire, ive said it before and ill say it again, it has the potential to sweep entire teams. Just be sure to scout first before using electric attacks.
You hit at least neutral on everything in the game With Ice Beam and Thunderbolt(the only pokemon that fully resist this are Volt Absorb Lanturn, Shedinja and Magnezone, all of which are rather uncommon).
Also note that being asleep for two turns can be deadly. For example Blissey used rest. Opponent sends in Scarf Garchomp. Blissey is fast asleep. Garchomp uses Outrage. Blissey fainted. Which is why Wish or Softboiled would be better.
