Electrode

Thanks to a phenomenal Speed stat and access to both Reflect and Light Screen, Electrode is able to set itself apart from PU's other Electric-types as the best dual screens user in the tier, functioning as a potent lead for hyper offense teams. Electrode also is the fastest user of Taunt in PU and can deny opposing Taunt from the likes of Jellicent and Lycanroc, prevent the use of Defog to clear Reflect and Light Screen from the field, and obstruct setup from sweepers such as Oricorio-E and Bellossom to compensate for its lack of offensive presence. Electrode's access to Explosion and Volt Switch allows it to instantly generate momentum for its team and maximizes the number of turns Electrode's teammates can utilize before screens wear off, though Explosion will sacrifice Electrode in the process. Unfortunately, Electrode is only viable on screens-based hyper offense teams and is outclassed offensively by other Electric-types such as Oricorio-E and Alolan Raichu due to their greater offensive stats, more expansive movepools, secondary typing, and access to setup moves in the form of Calm Mind and Nasty Plot, respectively. Screens-based hyper offense teams are heavily reliant on offensive pressure to function and, as a result, are inconsistent against teams that have enough defensive checks to common breakers and setup sweepers. Electrode is also vulnerable to Prankster users such as Liepard and Sableye, as they can use Taunt on Electrode before it can get up Reflect and Light Screen. Choice Scarf Primeape is also able to outspeed Electrode and restrict it to only setting up one screen by threatening it with Close Combat, while Ground-type Stealth Rock setters such as Mudsdale and Golurk can punish Electrode with Earthquake if it opts to use Taunt.
