Strategy Overview

Electabuzz boasts a great Speed stat, respectable offensive stats, and a useful movepool to complement them. Its powerful Electric-type attacks together with coverage options from several other types allow it to force a lot of switches. Electabuzz requires no setup in order to deal a lot of damage, which sets it apart from many other offensive Pokemon in terms of generating offensive pressure. However, due to its lack of bulk, Electabuzz is somewhat of a glass cannon. Its Speed means that it is a viable revenge killer for offensive threats such as Dodrio, Kabutops, and Gyarados, which the other Electric-type Pokemon in the tier underspeed. This black and yellow beast is best played with aggression to shock foes with its offensive prowess.
