Electivire

Electivire is a powerful Electric Type attacker that was once arguably the king of its type. While Electric Type in general isn't the most commonly needed type in the game, it becomes very important for select raids, making it a solid investment if lacking the powerful Shadow Electric Types that it attempts to compete with.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Thunder Shock + Wild Charge is Electivire's best Electric set.

• Thunder and Thunder Punch are strictly inferior charged moves.

• Low Kick and Ice Punch serves no offensive purpose.

• Flamethrower doesn't have any use. 

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Low Kick is pretty weak, but at least it has counter coverage.

• Wild Charge is very strong and hurts if not dodged.

• Thunder Punch has 3 bars but is weaker and no harder to dodge.

• Ice Punch has an earlier damage window and provides coverage against Electivire's weakness to Ground-types. 

• Electivire may very well faint before it can use Thunder.

• Flamethrower is okay on defense, but doesn't provide anything special. 

Thunder Shock is the superior fast move of choice, featuring very fast energy generation but poor damage output. Low Kick is a pretty bad move unfortunately. 

Wild Charge is the main charge move for Electivire, which can possibly deal huge STAB damage if unshielded. Either Thunder Punch or Ice Punch are chosen for their lower energy cost, which lets them bait shields. The former benefits from STAB, while the latter offers wide coverage, including against Electivire's weakness to Ground-type foes. Flamethrower is a move limited to Community Day events and Elite TMs, but not as desirable due to its higher energy cost and somewhat irrelevant coverage.
