Electric sucks because everything has Earthquake. I remember playing Stadium R2 and every electric type was just a wasted slot.

I know that, just don't normally use Ice types, one would have been real handy against the Alola e4, the flying one gave me the most trouble, and I had both and electric and rock type.

There are electrics immune to that now

Zapdos has much better speed than Mangeton, a much better move pool than Jolteon, and much better defenses than either. And a gap of 5 or 15 Special isn't small in Gen 1, remember that it's really double that since Special = SpAtk and SpDef

Similarly, Articuno has a much greater speed than Lapras. And it doesn't really matter what moves they can learn since you'll teach them Thunderbolt anyway and only ever use that.

Lapras has similar defenses to Articuno, including superior physical bulk, better typing both offensively and defensively, and a vastly superior movepool. Cloyster is also worth a mention as a Ice-type because of its excellent physical bulk and access to Clamp and Explosion. Jynx is also good since it has an OP second time and access to Lovely Kiss. Articuno is just one Ice-type among many

Weak bait is weak bait ad infinitum.

Some of you are alright. Don't be at the Electric-type gym tomorrow
