They usually have completely garbage movepools.

Usually only Magnezone, Zapdos and Top Kek get the spotlight. Blame GF for not giving other electric types

>a decent physical movepool (bar zekrom)
>coverage thats not hidden power

And etc

Lack of dual types,masuda hates anything that hits water SE,crappy movepools,no good physical STAB and the burden of pikaclones.

This.

Hurr let's add a 100 BP attack with no downsides. GF doesn't even see the problem here because Thousand Arrows exists.

Electric type is not shit. It's strategic, which is why children like yourself think it's shit.

Look at Electivire. It's made to be a counterpick, an ass-covering for your Flying and Water type heavy hitters about to get BTFO by Thunderbolt. It has access to Earthquake.

Lantern is the same deal. You can either be a counterpick to Water or Electric types. With Water Absorb, you can wall Water types and force a switch, and punish with Confuse Ray, and they can do nothing about it.

A lot of electric types with good stats don't tend to have the best coverage. They're also often pretty frail as well, and although they only have one weakness (when not dual-type), that weakness happens to be to EQ.
That and the fact that there's a fair amount of physical attacker electric types that don't have access to a solid physical stab.

>physical electric types (besides the Pika family) have to rely on Wild Charge for physical stab which is bad because it has all the downsides of the recoil moves, but doesn't hit as hard as most of them. Also because of this, these physical attackers are sometimes forced to go mixed or fully special.
>many special electric types, like grass types tend to have the coverage of a stoner working at Wal-Mart. They only have their sttab, some normal moves and then thats typically it. Their offensive movepool consists of T-Bolt and Hidden Pwer while their support movepool consists of t-wave and... well, yeah.

Magnezone's claim to fame is Magnet Pull. If it couldn't trap and kill other Steel-types it'd be shit.

HOW TO FIX ELECTRIC TYPES
1: Wild Charge is now Electric type Wild Charge. In order to stay special snowflakey, Volt Tackle is now Electric Head Smash.
2. Due to electricity being used in many places to generate heat, the average electric type will now have Fire type moves in their coverage pool, such as Flamethrower and Heat Wave.
3. New Electric type move distributed fairly widely among electric types, and a few non-electrics. Special Dragon dance named Overcharge.
