Shadow Electrode

The Shadow Boost helps Electrode a fair bit, but that high speed in the main series is still very bad in Go. It can put in some work, but it's not great.

Best PvE Offensive Moveset

• Spark is superior to Volt Switch for the weave DPS and energy gain. Volt Switch’s huge cast time make it difficult to dodge.

• Tackle*, Shadow Electrode’s legacy charge move, lacks STAB or any type advantage.

• Thunderbolt is slightly superior to Discharge for damage output, but both are reasonable.

• Hyper Beam and Foul Play have no uses on Electrode. Use your TMs here.

Best PvE Defensive Moveset

• Volt Switch is clearly superior on defense, doing more than double the damage that Spark and Tackle* do.

• Thunderbolt is Shadow Electrode’s best move, splitting the difference between charge time and damage.

• Discharge is also great, since Shadow Electrode is frail. It sometimes does more damage than Thunderbolt.

• Foul Play doesn't really provide meaningful coverage for Shadow Electrode, and also lacks STAB. 

• Hyper Beam is too slow and easy to dodge.
