If Electivire should ever (hopefully) get a buff this is how I would want it.
-
Base 100 speed so it can be decently fast in this insane power creep of a generation.
-
A 7 point increase to its Physical Attack so it can deal some mean Cross Chops and Thunder Punches.
-
I know its 95 Sp. Attack meant it could fire off some nice flamethrowers but I hardly see it running any other special attack. Maybe Volt Switch? But I don’t see that commonly used. 65 means I could put some more points in its HP, Attack, & Defense to live off some hits.
-
Making it Fighting type isn’t just what I want, it’s what everyone else has been asking for. It’s got so many Fighting type moves like Brick Break, Hammer Arm, Focus Punch, Cross Chop, etc. Absolute insanity that it’s not Electric/Fighting.
-Give Electivire Plasma Fists & Double Shock. It’ll make it infinitely better than just having to click Thunder Punch and Supercell Slam.
-Rather than having Vital Spirit, give it Iron Fist to maximize the elemental punch usage. Iron Fist Plasma Fists STAB will go crazy.
-Drain Punch for recovery since it’s got nothing to keep it in the field as well as Mach Punch for STAB priority. The Magby line can get Mach Punch via breeding so the Elekid like should get the same treatment.
What Pokémon would you like to see buffed?
Electivire is one of my favorites but it’s short from perfect competitively speaking.
