What is a good Electric type Pokemon for Black 2 available before the Post Game?

Question

I have planned this team as I am getting my Black 2 this Saturday.
My Team:

Samurott
Excadrill
Volcarona
Crobat
Virizion
Electric type which I need help with

Answer 1

I'd go with Eelektross.

It has brilliant Attack and Special Attack, decent defenses and HP. The only stat that's bad is Speed. It has a great movepool and also has the highest stat total of all the non-legendary Electric types in the Unova region (515).

If you want a physical attacker, you should go with:

Eelektross @Flying Gem
Nature: Adamant (+Atk -SAtk)
EVs: 252 Atk, 100 Def, 100 SDef, 56 HP
Hone Claws
Acrobatics
Wild Charge
Brick Break

And if you want a special attacker, go with:

Eelektross @Leftovers
Nature: Modest (+SAtk -Atk)
EVs: 252 SAtk, 100 Def, 100 SDef, 56 HP
Charge Beam
Grass Knot
Flamethrower
Flash Cannon

Answer 2

Magnezone is one of the best Pokemon in the entire game. This is for a few reasons:

• Caught early
• Stonewalls Roxie, Burgh, Skyla, and Marlon
• Solos the early-game with SonicBoom
• Has base 130 Special Attack

Magnezone's only flaws are its low Speed and lack of movepool diversity, but it needs neither when every other aspect is so strong. It will be useful from the moment you catch it to the moment you defeat the Champion.

Other strong options include Eelektross and Ampharos, but Magnezone's positive qualities make it far superior in most cases.
