Strategy Overview
Elekid is very fast, hitting 20 Speed, which is the fastest unboosted Speed tier in the metagame. However, Elekid is also extremely frail, meaning that it can't switch in as often as it would like to and it is ripped apart by priority moves, which plague the tier. Thankfully for Elekid, sand is not as important as it was in BW, boosting Elekid's viability to an extent.
