EVs: 4 HP / 252 SAtk / 252 Spd
Modest Nature (+SAtk, -Atk)
- Thunderbolt
- Psychic
- Signal Beam
- Hidden Power [Fighting]

---

mine has got:

Ice punch - to deal with its ground weakness
Thunderbolt - better accuracy than thunder
Discharge - good in double battles, it hits both opponents
Brick break - breaks moves such as mirror coat

---

Don't go with thunderbolt and discharge in the same set. It's just a waste. Replace discharge with earthquake and replace thunderbolt with thunder if you have a rain team.

Answer 1

Strange, it might not have shown up if it was mispelled. Here's my recommended set:

Earthquake-His huge attack makes this perfect.

Thunder punch/Wild Charge-Punch to go with his higher attack stat, or charge for more power. (his SpA isn't bad at all.) He also got Wild Charge in Gen V, so that's an option now.

Ice punch-Covers ground weakness.

Brick break/Cross chop-Gives a bit more type coverage.

Comments

Is it spelled the way that I just put it?

---

wild charge is a physical move...

---

lol but it does recoil though so just ignore the part about It is a special move and Just think it says it does recoil damage

Answer 2

Answer 3

Sweeping Electivire

Ability: Motor Drive
Nature: Adamant (+Atk, -SpA) or Jolly (+Spe, -SpA)
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 Def

Answer 4

Odd, nobody tried a SubPunch set...

Electivire (M) @ Leftovers
Trait: Vital Spirit
EVs: 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spd
Jolly Nature (+Spd, -SAtk)
- ThunderPunch
- Ice Punch
- Substitute
- Focus Punch

Leftovers provides recovery. Vital Spirit prevents Electivire from sleeping on the job. ThunderPunch and Ice Punch have good coverage together. Evs give it some Speed and Attack. Substitute makes the set work. Focus Punch kills everything in it's path.

I have a completely flawless, shiny electivire.

Nature: Adamant
Moveset: Meditate, Ice Punch, ThunderPunch, and Cross Chop

I haven't been able to figure out what item to make it hold yet.

Answer 12

Electrivire the best Electric Pokemon ever. Nature:Adamant

EVs: Attack and Defense. Motor Drive

• ThunderPunch: STAB It suits Electrivire.

• Cross Chop: Again , It suits Electrivire.

• Screech/Ice Punch 0: Good move to pwn Ground types.

• Earthquake: PWNing Device or Best move ever?

That one is HG/SS , Plat and P/D.

This one is Black/White and Black/White 2.

• ThunderPunch

• Cross Chop

• Wild Charge/Ice Punch. 0 AND

• Earthquake

I like BLK/WHT and BLK2/WHT2 better. I hope this moveset halps. :D

I just currently forgot. The 0's is the edits. ) 0 Advice: Use Ice Punch to destroy/cover Ground types.

Answer 13

Electivire @ Wide Lens

Ability: Motor Drive

Naure: Impish (+Defense, -Sp. Atk.)

-Rain Dance (To make Thunder accuraccy's 100%)

-Thunder (STAB, very good power)

-Ice Punch (Deals with Ground Pokemon)

-Magnet Rise (To be immune for Ground attacks for 5 turns)

*You can also replace Ice Punch or Magnet Rise for Cross Chop, due to the fact that many Ground type Pokemon are with a Fighting weakness.

2. flamethrower coverage decent move
3. dig coverage chance to avoid damage while leftovers heals
4. rock slide powerful coverage

tamed up with

catform
highly curious (sp.atk IV)
relaxed +def -speed
item

1. hydro pump rain makes hit hard
2. thunder rain makes never miss
3. weather ball
4. rain dance

Answer 16

Mixed.

Electrivire: life orb/expert belt
Ability: motor drive
Nature: hasty/naive
Evs: 152 atk 106 sp atk 252 spd
Thunderbolt/wild charge
Ice punch
Flamethrower/earthquake/hidden power (grass)
Cross chop/focus blast/psychic

People often forget that electivire can go mixed, as he has a very usable special attack stat and a tremendous movepool to back it. The psuedo BoltBeam combo is an automatic entry. The final two moveslots are for two of his many coverage moves. The fighting type moves just provide good coverage in general. Flamethrower is good for steel types, while earthquake does that while also hitting opposing electric types. Hp grass is for the ground types neutral to ice punch. Psychic is for the commonly used fighting types. There are many more viable move options in addition to these. Have fun

I'll try this out.
