Recommended moves

As a Baby Pokémon, Elekid has better stats than you'd expect but they still aren't enough for PvE relevance. It's not meant for Raids and Gyms. 🚼

🧸 Little Cup

Elekid is a nice addition to the Little Cup, easily beating the many Water and Flying types in this meta. That is certainly a perk but beyond those matchups, there is nothing impressive about Elekid.

Don't use Elekid in any other PvP League.

💎 The best moves for Elekid in the Little Cup are Thunder Shock, Thunder Punch and Brick Break.
