Strategy Overview

With its fantastic Electric / Bug typing, Galvantula can hit a large portion of the metagame for super effective damage, making it a quality team member. However, weaknesses to common Rock- and Fire-type attacks keep Galvantula from achieving its full potential. Galvantula's ability, Compoundeyes, lets it utilize STAB Thunder with near-perfect accuracy.
