Assault Vest or Life Orb for Electrivire?

Question

I have an Electrivire I got in a trade. Unfortunately, it didn't hold an item. It's has max Attack, and I'm thinking Life Orb would work for it, since it would hit hard. But my Electrivire is also an all-out attacker. I heard an AV Electrivire is actually pretty good. So I'm between these 2 items. What item should I give it: the Assault Vest or Life Orb?

Answer 1

Depends. Life Orb Electivire would be unstoppable if it's motor drive boosted it's speed a stage. But if you want bulk, AV Electivire is the way to go. Here are movesets for each:

Electivire@Life Orb
Trait: Motor Drive
Adamant Nature
EVs: 252 Atk, 252 Spe, 4 Hp
Moves:
Ice Punch
Wild Charge
Earthquake
Brick Break

The AV set is basically the same one above except it's holding the AV instead of Life Orb. Hope I helped!

Electrive is terrible in general. These sets aren't bad, but not good
