Electric type Pokémon enjoy insane popularity, thanks to a certain yellow-colored mouse, but there are other reasons too beside that. These Pokémon are extremely powerful, they are designed really well and they do quite well in most battles. So, it’s worth spending some time finding out which of them are the best and most popular!
What makes these Pokémon so powerful and worth having? For starters, they are really flashy and their attacks work on almost all the other Pokémon types.
