In-Depth Analysis
Elekid totals 360 across its base stats, profiling as a balanced Pokémon with a flexible stat spread. Lean on its Speed (95) when planning sets, and cover for its weaker Defense (37).
Defensively, the Electric combination gives Elekid 3 resistances and 1 weakness to plan around. Notably, it carries no 4× weaknesses, which makes it harder to punish. Offensively it pressures 2 types with super-effective STAB coverage.
A low catch rate of 45 makes Elekid a genuinely tough catch; bring strong balls and status moves. It levels on the Medium experience curve. Defeating it grants Speed +1 EVs, which is worth remembering when EV-training your own team.
