>>30918297For 5 turns, with its electric moves, it has the equivalent of like base 148 special attack. Plus, Electric is a good terrain in general. It's also very fast.
It's shortcomings is that outside of electric moves in ET, it's damage is not that impressive since it either has to go full special or forced to go mixed, where it doesn't really invest in all that much in it's attack stat. Wild Charge hits really hard, but with Recoil+Life Orb, you'll be dead after two attacks.
Hopefully some of the tutors in Stars/Delta/DPremakes/Kanto Re-Revisit/whatever will be Zing Zap and Play Rough.
