Unfortunately it has no resistances either.
Its got a decent physical set because its only recovery move is Drain Punch (Giga Drain is just awful) but its not the best.
Its not bad, either, and if youre just playing in game even if its pvp (against friends), it's not the worst choice by far. Ive had success with Eelektross,

It's also based on an electric eel, idiot.

>>28113770

The Japanese name is Shibirudon and shibireunagi means electric eel. Keep crying about the localization team being wrong though.

If you could swap wonder guard onto it, the balloon would then be needed. The only move that could hit it are ground. Balloon could not be popped as all other attacks would get wonder guarded off.

No, not really. How often do you see it used anywhere? Not very often, and there's a reason for that. Shit speed, average bulk and mixed offenses capping at base 115 don't really take you anywhere. All of this is very sad really because it has great movepool and no weaknesses under normal battle conditions so it could be very useful. It's just that everything good about it is ruined by its awful stats.

And Patrat's name in japanese also refers to rats.

Yes, I too have an Eelektross in my Black version team, but that doesn't make it good. Don't act like Eelektross is somehow worth using in any official format.

Uhh no it's clearly just their localization team

Shibirudon may be a combination of 痺れ shibire (numbness) or しびれうなぎ shibireunagi (electric eel) and don (from the Latin dominus, lord) or ὀδούς odoús (Greek for tooth).

Oh... ok
So GF is retarded or they think their audience is

Lampreys don't produce electricity. Electric eels do. Who's retarded again?

Fun fact: Electric eels are not eels.

Bonus fact: jackrabbits are not rabbits, they're hares. What the fuck is wrong with the world?

This isn't nearly as bad as Beedrill.

It's neither a bee, nor does it has drills. Its japanese name is literally Spear.

It's a wasp with spears: a Waspear. Was that so difficult, guys?

Saying Eelectross is an electric eel because it produces electricity is like saying Pikachu is one too.

no, I understand the fact that they're different biologically but for example in my language we don't have different words for frogs and toads, turtles and tortoises, hares and rabbits etc

it was always funny to me

There's a more distinctive difference between turtles and tortoises than any of those others.
