Electrike

Electrike is often overlooked in the Little Cup metagame. The thing that sets it apart from its Electric-type brothers is its ability: Lightning Rod. Every time Electrike switches into an Electric-type attack, it gains a Special Attack boost. Apart from Elekid, Blitzle, and Voltorb, it is the fastest Electric-type, reaching 17 Speed. Additionally, it has the second highest Special Attack stat, beat out only by Magnemite. Electrike is also unique because it learns Switcheroo, allowing it to cripple opposing Pokemon with a potentially unwanted item. Thunderbolt and Flamethrower together have nearly unresisted coverage. Overall, Electrike has a neat niche in the metagame because it can do things that other Electric-types cannot.
