In X & Y, Eelektrik isn't fully evolved, so it's not built for competitive play. You'll want to evolve it into Eelektross to unlock its full potential. At 405 BST, it's a stepping stone rather than a team anchor.

What is Eelektrik weak to?

In X & Y, watch for Garchomp (Ground) when using Eelektrik. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. At base 40 Speed, Eelektrik won't outrun any of these threats so switching to a resist is usually the safer play.

How do you evolve Eelektrik?

In X & Y, Tynamo evolves into Eelektrik at level 39. Eelektrik evolves into Eelektross using a Thunder Stone. Eelektrik is a middle-stage evolution in the Tynamo line.

What is the best ability for Eelektrik?

In X & Y, Run Levitate on Eelektrik. It's the ability that defines how you build around it and the main reason it holds a competitive niche.

What role does Eelektrik play in battle?

In X & Y, Eelektrik fills the trick room role. It's a physical attacker with base 85 Attack. Base 40 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. And it's enough bulk to take a hit or two.
