Pic related may seem like a unusual example because it's good, but it does showcase a lot of problems that are endemic of Electric type designs.
>has no moves>physically oriented but has no physical moves at all except two recoil moves and U-turn, no second STAB on the physical side>special attacking stat is mediocre>basically carried by its second type and broken ability>despite this, and it's the most emblematic problem of the type as a whole, its existence invalidates almost every other Electric type (except Zeraora, Zapdos, Rotom and Magnezone)
