I am very happy about this.

Name: Janna
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Surprisingly, not Mareep's line. Either Emolga or Raichu.
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Bolt Strike! Very cool-looking. Thunderbolt as well for utility and high damage/accuracy.
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: I've always been fond of electricity as an element, for some reason I felt connected to it you could say. Pikachu was one of my favorite Pokémon when I was young and the type really stuck with me since.
Your Electric Type Tag Partner:

Hello everyone! When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them? I make sure to at least have something with me that can use an electric move if I can't decide on or have space for electric Pokémon themselves. Thunderbolt is too amazing. <3

Hello Janna (aka Sheep), a very very warm welcome to my first ever Club on PokeCommunity & what better than to have an Admin as the First Member .

Yes, I always make sure have an Electric Type in my team, as soon its available in the game I'm playing, sometimes I go with even two. And Thunderbolt is my most fav Electric move as well.

Pika Pika

I didn't play games from Gen 6 because I don't have a 3DS.
I used Zebstrika in black but it's not my favourite.....
(I played Diamond version without an Electric type. I taught my Gyarados to use Thunder, so I managed)

Hey Harish, welcome to the Club. I hope you have a good time here. Hey we do have one thing in common - I too haven't played any Gen 6 games, coz I don't have 3DS either

Pika Pika

Hey LegendChu, I'm here! :D

Name: Revise (or Meadow)
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Pichu, Pikachu, Manectric, Zapdos, and Jolteon! Maybe Blitzle and Zebstrika, too. xD
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Thunderbolt, for sure!
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: I think some of their designs are pretty cute & cool, and they're pretty fun to use in-game! =)
Your Electric Type Tag Partner: Pichu
Your Tag Partner's Nickname: Machu Picchu

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them?
Surprisingly, I only use Electric-types in Kanto and Hoenn, where I can have a Jolteon or Manectric on my team. I guess I just have way too many other favorites in places like Sinnoh and Unova, haha.

Hey Meadow, you did join in. Welcome to the Club bro . And you're also the first one to nickname your Partner. That's a unique "Peruvian" name, I must say .

Pika Pika

Name: BadSheep
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Mareep, Pikachu, Shinx, Manectric
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Volt Tackle, Lightning, Thunder Wave
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: Fast, offensive, bulky, and/or cute. They make a sold team member in competitive.
Your Electric Type Tag Partner: Mareep
Your Tag Partner's Nickname: N/A

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them?

It really depends on the team's goal and if an electric type has a role on the team. When electric pokemon do have a role, I never hesitate to use them, especially if they have good synergy with the other pokemon on the team!

Hey BadSheep, welcome to the club. Mareep seems to be a very popular choice huh, you're the third one to have chosen it .

Pika Pika

I'd like to join as well, and thanks for the invitation!

Name: Windy
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Pikachu, Mareep, Pachirisu, and more.
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Thunderbolt
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: At first, I was interested with Pikachu, and later I find out other Electric types are pretty good as well (notably Magnemite lines, among others), and some are very cute as well (like Mareep, Plusle and Minun, Pachirisu, Emolga, Dedenne and Helioptile), that I like the Electric types in overall as well.
Your Electric Type Tag Partner: Pachirisu

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them?
Yep, most of the time. Usually I'm going with Pikachu around the team. Otherwise, I'm going with Mareep or even Pachirisu.

Hey LegendChu (or should I call you Raj ), thanks for the invite. Without doubt, I'd love to join the Club, you're my Playground Partner after all . And hello to the other Club Members - Sheep, Mawa, Harish Sceptile, Meadow, BadSheep, Starry Windy.

Name - NinjaQueen
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s) - Pikachu, Emolga, Manectric, Eelektross
Favourite Electric Type Move(s) - Thunderbolt, Electro Ball, Thunder Punch
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon - I have to go with what Sheep said, Electric as an Element represents power for me.
Your Electric Type Tag Partner - Emolga

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them?
Yes, I always have an Electric Type in my team or at least a Pokemon with Thunderbolt, which I think is the best utility move. I think Eelektross makes a great Team Member coz of its Levitate Ability.

Hey Starry Windy, welcome to the Club bro, expected you to join in . So I ain't the only one who regularly uses Pikachu in my team huh .

Hiya NinjaQueen, a very warm welcome to the Club. I was sure my Playground Partner would definitely join in . And hey thnx a lot for pointing out something I was forgetting to mention in my posts .

Current Discussion - When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them?

I'll join!

Name: Sophie
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Jolteon, Magneton, Chinchou, Rotom, Mareep, Stunfisk ...
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Thunder!

Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: I've always really liked the design of electric type pokemon - a lot of them look very cool and like you'd want one on your team (e.g. Jolteon or Luxray). Electricity is fascinating in general and I've never really known what interests me so much about it but add on the fact that a lot of electric types are great at packing a punch, have cool moves like Bolt Strike and are quite speedy, well they're honestly a type I love a lot! I'd say they're definitely in my top three types.

Your Electric Type Tag Partner: Stunfisk

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them?

Definitely! I think I've always had at least one electric type on my team in every playthrough I've done. I've been trying to try new electric types each time but I've always considered them an important part of my team, just like how people generally need a water or flying type.

Hey Sophie (aka Aslan), a very warm welcome to the Club . I must say, that's a very interesting choice for a Partner. I think Stunfisk is one of the most under-rated of all Electric Types.

So LegendChu forced me to join this club.

Name: Han, Lycan, Sandshrew (though the latter may not be the best in an electric type club xD)
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Magnemite! It's so cute, happy and has great special attack and a lovely cry. BEEP! I also like Zapdos, Mareep line, Chinchou line, Rotom and Zekrom.
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): The move I use most is Thunderbolt, because it's reliable with 100% accuracy and has a nice base power. Thunder Wave and Volt Switch are very useful moves as well.
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon? Electric type Pokémon often excel at speed and special attack, enabling a quick hit before the opponent even has a chance to strike back. It's always fun to hurl bolts of lightning at your opponent, no?
Your Electric Type Tag Partner
Your Tag Partner's Nickname: Tesla (named after the unit for the magnetic field)

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one Electric Type on them?
I don't intentionally add an electric type Pokémon to all my teams, but on most of my teams there's definitely one present. They really come in handy against water types, definitely Gyarados. You're going to have a tough time with those guys without an electric type.

good convincing power maybe

Hey Lycan, welcome to the Club bro. Wait I think I can do this better!

Hey Han, Lycan the Sandshrew Fan, welcome to the Club man, hey Han, Lycan the Sandshrew Fan, welcome to the Club man

Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Thunder and Thunder Punch!
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: Electric type moves are cool and very useful and I like how they spark in the anime! Plus yellow is my fave colour!
Your Electric Type Tag Partner: Plusle
Your Tag Partner's Nickname: Zappy

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one electric type on them? Yes, if I can, they come in quite handy! I must admit it feels wrong to me not to have a Pikachu on my team!

Hey Spoony (aka Spoonette), welcome to the Club. You're the tenth member to join in. We're officially into double figures now . And ya, I also make sure that Pikachu is a part of every team of mine

hey thanks for the invite


Name: Vodka
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Stunfisk, Thundurus, Zekrom
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Bolt Strike
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: idk, Electric is one of my least favorite types, they're just... not my style lol. That said, I do like some electric-types, particularly when they have sheer power or a lot of coverage options.
Your Electric Type Tag Partner: Stunfisk

When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one Electric Type on them?

I no longer play in-game, but when I used to I did use one from time to time.

Competitively I don't like using electric-types that much because most of them tend to either not hit hard enough (Jolteon, non-specs Raikou, Mega Manectric) or is not fast or bulky enough to clean up (Thundurus-T). Specs Raikou and especially Thundurus are great, though.

Hey Vodka (aka KorpiklaaniVodka, interesting name btw ), welcome to the Club man . Ah don't worry, being on this Club will make you like Electric Types more , we'll make you like them, lol .

Pika Pika

Name Rika
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s) Raikou, Raichu, Pikachu and Elekid!
Favourite Electric Type Move(s) Spark and Thunder Wave!
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon Because their attacks are so useful and the designs of most of them are really nice! I'm not a huge fan of the Pikachu clones... But otherwise, there aren't many electric pokémon I don't like c:
Your Electric Type Tag Partner Pichu please~
Your Tag Partner's Nickname (optional) Nah, we're good without a nickname.

Current Discussion - When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one Electric Type on them?
I do! Actually always. In Kanto, I mostly use Jolteon or Pikachu (Raichu), in Johto I've tried Electabuzz and Magneton (in the old games, so couldn't evolve them further!) and in Hoenn I've used Raichu or Manectric most of the time. My teams do feel a bit incomplete if I don't use an electric type. I like to paralyze my opponents and I don't often use grass types with powders c: Plus, electric is good against water and flying, which is often very useful, considering how many water types there are and how many poke´mon have flying as a secondary type.

Thank you for inviting me LegendChu. Electrics are one of my fav types, so I'd like to join in.

Name: Guru
Favourite Electric Type Pokemon(s): Shinx, Luxio, Luxray, Pikachu, Raichu, Ampharos, Electivire, Zebstrika
Favourite Electric Type Move(s): Thunderbolt, Parabolic Charge, Spark
Why do you like Electric Type Pokemon: They mostly have good, powerful attacks & good speed. Also yellow is my fav colour.
Your Electric Type Tag Partner: Shinx

Current Discussion - When building teams in the games, do you tend to put at least one Electric Type on them?

Yes I always have one Electric Type Pokemon in my team, mostly it used to be Pikachu/Raichu or Ampharos. From Gen IV onwards, I've made sure I always have Luxray in my team.

Hey Rika (aka rikadventure), welcome to the Club . I totally agree, with the abundance of Water & Flying Types in every game, having an Electric Type in your team, is almost necessary .

Hey Guru (aka DragonGuru), welcome to the Club. Let me take a wild guess, your first favs are Dragon Types are they . Good to see yet another member who uses Pikachu in his team .
