Why can my Electrike be hit by Electric-type moves?

Question

It has the ability Lightningrod and it can be hit by electric-type moves! Help! What's happening? It is level 20 and it doesn't know any special attacks. What?

Answer 1

If this is Gen III/IV, it's not a glitch.

Lightningrod only gives you immunity to Electric moves in Gen V and onward; in Gen III and IV, it only draws them to the user, and won't give you the Electric immunity.

Answer 2

Before gen5, lightningrod did not give immunity to electric type moves,
It just drew it in double battle
