Strategy Overview

Electabuzz has one of the highest base Speed stats in the tier, allowing it to be a faster special attacker than some other Electric-types such as Rotom-F. It can also hold Eviolite, which makes it bulky enough to check Pokemon such as Dodrio and survive attacks even from strong attackers such as Simipour, which other Electric-types struggle against. Vital Spirit makes Electabuzz immune to sleep, making it a solid choice against Pokemon such as Jumpluff, but Zebstrika can fulfill this role slightly better thanks to Sap Sipper. Moreover, Electabuzz's bulk isn't great in comparison with other Eviolite users and Electabuzz cannot use a boosting item, meaning its damage output is outclassed by other Electric-types such as Zebstrika and Raichu. Finally, Electabuzz's lack of recovery makes it susceptible to residual damage such as entry hazards.
