Strategy Overview
Electrode stands out in LGPE OU as one of the fastest Pokemon in the metagame, only tying with Mega Aerodactyl and Mega Alakazam. It is also, without question, the swiftest support Pokemon around. Electrode's capabilities of setting up dual screens, using Taunt to stop Stealth Rock from going up, and crippling threats with Thunder Wave before the majority of the metagame can even move make it a valuable asset for offensive teams. However, outside of its great Speed, the rest of its stats are lackluster by LGPE OU standards. Electrode relies on Reflect and Light Screen to withstand multiple attacks throughout the match, as it's helplessly frail without them. As an Electric-type, it's offensively outclassed by Zapdos, which sports much greater attacking stats, Drill Peck to deal with Grass-types, and U-turn for keeping momentum.
