Electabuzz

Electabuzz is Jolteon’s second cousin in terms of relative power. Access to Thunder Shock/Thunderbolt makes this Pokemon relevant against raid bosses like Vaporeon or Blastoise, but its low CP makes it suboptimal against the legendary birds alone, not to mention the plethora of other Electric Types that we have today, including its own Evolution.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Thundershock is superior to Low Kick for STAB and taking down Water and Flying-types.

• Thunderbolt is Electabuzz’s best move for its low energy cost and great damage. It only has 20 less power than Thunder, which costs double the energy.

• Thunder is the second best choice on offense, and Thunder Punch doesn’t keep up with the other two in terms of damage.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Low Kick is Electabuzz’s only non-electric move, and works well on defense against Electabuzz’s counters.

• Thunderbolt splits the middle between Thunderpunch’s low energy cost and Thunder’s damage.

• Thunder is hard to react to, but costs too much to get good use out of.

Electabuzz is going to need Return to have any utility, as none of its other Charged Moves have coverage outside of Electric.
