      PvE AnalysisPvE Analysis

      Recommended moves

      Electabuzz has a good moveset but average stats that fail to cement it as a viable Pokémon in PvE. 👎

      ⚔️ Raids

      Electabuzz is completely outclassed by a host of Electric-type Pokémon that also includes its own evolution, Electivire. ⚡

      🛡️ Gyms

      With low bulk, Electabuzz struggles even against neutral damage. It's not a Gym defender at all!

      💎 The best moves for Electabuzz in PvE are Thunder Shock and Thunderbolt.

      PvP AnalysisPvP Analysis

      Recommended moves

      With absolutely no coverage beyond its Electric type moves that are restricted by its low stats, Electabuzz is terrible in PvP. Don't even think of running it in this meta. 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♂️
