>>33445433Why isn't the ground type Marowak bring electrocuted too? Ground types were able to be hurt by electric in the anime before. The best example being Brock's Onix being hurt by Ash's Pikachu in the gym battle, resulting in Ash 'winning' the badge because that was the only way the writers could think of for him to get the damn badge. Kinda like the only way they could think for him to 'earn' other badges in gen 1 were by
Protecting the water in the cerulean gym from team rocket
Having Pikachu stand on it's tail so that Raichu's thunderbolt would somehow not hit
Rescue the gym leader's Gloom from the gym burning down
Got help making the gym leader laugh
