Strategy Overview

Eelektross's base 115 Attack and base 105 Special Attack, as well as its large movepool, make it a very versatile Pokemon. Its decent bulk also lets it act as an offensive pivot, tanking hits from foes such as Bronzong and Meloetta whilst dealing significant damage in return. Furthermore, it has virtually no weaknesses thanks to Levitate, which also grants it an immunity to Spikes and Toxic Spikes. However, it is extremely slow, making it difficult to use, as it gets outsped by most Pokemon, including those such as Jellicent and Alomomola which can easily inflict status on it. Furthermore, Pokemon such as Emboar are easily able to KO it, and its lack of reliable recovery outside of Leftovers makes it very easy to wear down through Stealth Rock and constant switching into Pokemon it would usually be able to check. Eelektross is also weak to status ailments, which hinder its performance in the long run, especially from status inducers, such as Alomomola and Jellicent.
