Pokemon Reviews: Eelektross

Eelektross

Using its arms, Eelektross can drag itself out of the ocean. They attack and weaken prey on the shore, using their mouth to suck in the prey and then use its fangs to deliver an electric bite. Then, they haul it back into the ocean.
Eelektross is based off of an electric eel. He can be a strong Pokemon. I have to say I actually like Eelektross. Not the highest amount of HP, but it doesn't matter with a lot of Attack and Sp. Attack. Eelektross is slow, but it doesn't seem to stop him. He is a Pokemon capable of doing moves.
He has an acceptable movepool. He can use Gastro Acid, which is an incredibly amazing move that makes the target lose the effects of its abilities. You have a Slaking on your side in a Double Battle? Use Gastro Acid on Slaking, and he can move every turn because his ability Truant is not in effect (Truant makes the Pokemon only able to attack every other turn). He has Wild Charge, which is kinda awesome. He can use Rain Dance and when it's rainy, the move Thunder has 100% accuracy. Eelektross can do so many things! It's what I like about him.
Eelektross's only ability is Levitate. He's immune to Ground-Type moves, so it means he has no Super-Effective weaknesses. If your opponent has Mold Breaker, they can attack you with Ground-Type moves. If you use Gastro Acid, they won't the ability Mold Breaker, and you can continue to have your ability Levitate in effect again.
Overall, there's practically nothing wrong with Eelektross. I can safely say he's probably the best non-legendary Electric Type in the Unova region.

Positive Review- The Pokemon is strong, great, used a lot, Pokemon is good overall.

In-Between Review- The Pokemon is okay, not the best, okay, acceptable, has one or two faults, In the Middle.

Yikes Review- The Pokemon is bad, maybe weak, not the best at all, has a few faults, it needs improvement.

STAB- Stands for Same Type Attack Bonus. It's when a Pokemon uses an attack that is the same Type as itself. The move becomes more powerful because the move is the same Type as the user.

Eeveelutions- An evolved form of Eevee.

Staller- A Pokemon that takes up time in battle. They usually use something like Toxic, use an Attack to inflict damage and after that, uses Protect to take up some time, and rely on the Poisoning to defeat the opposing Pokemon. It also counts with Pokemon who use moves like Refresh. Usually a Stalling Pokemon has to have high HP, Defense, Sp. Defense, and Speed stats.

Uber- A Pokemon capable of doing a lot of damage, mostly legendaries.

Tiers- Ranks that separate Pokemon into different classes, based on how often they're used and how capable they are in battle. LC is Little Cup, which is mainly unevolved Pokemon, NFE is Not Fully-Evolved, which are Pokemon that have evolved, but aren't fully-evolved, and Limbo are Pokemon being tested out to see how capable they are. To find out more about the main tiers, check out serebii.net, smogon, and Bulbapedia.

Entry Hazards- Things set up by using the moves Spikes, Toxic Spikes, or Stealth Rock. These can hurt Pokemon after being set up upon the Pokemon being sent out in the battle. Depending on the Pokemon's typing, they may get hurt a lot. If a Pokemon is 4x weak to Stealth Rock, for example, they lose half of their HP. Spikes can be avoided with levitating or Flying-Type Pokemon. Toxic Spikes poison the opponent's Pokemon when they're sent out into battle. Two sets of them badly poison them.
