Electric type

The is one of the eighteen Pokémon elemental types.
The Electric type is a type of Pokémon that have electricity-oriented powers. They possess electro-kinetic abilities, being able to control, store, or even produce electricity.
Electric-type Pokémon have varied habitats, from forests and prairies to cities and power plants. Electric-type Pokémon are usually fast, and many of their attacks may paralyze the target. Some Electric-type Pokémon also resemble artificial objects used by humans which relate to electricity (the Magnesite and Voltron evolution lines and Rostom).
Some of the Electric-type Pokémon Trainers are Lt. Surge, the third Gym Leader of Kanto; Wattson, the third Gym Leader of Hoenn; Volkner, the last Sinnoh Gym Leader; Elesa the fourth Gym Leader of Unova; Clemont, the fifth Gym Leader of Kalos; Sophocles, a Trial Captain of Ula'ula Island, Alola; and Iono of Paldea.

==Relations with other types==
*They have no effect against the -type because in the True X2 Nonfiction life, the ground is a natural sink of electrons hence the term "grounded". Also, electrical appliances don't work when dirt gets into them.
*They're strong against the -type because while in the air, they don't make contact with the ground, so they can't divert the electricity, so they're susceptible to strong electrical currents, and lightning is most likely to strike what's highest above the ground. Also, they resist the -type likely because wind produces electricity.
*They're strong against the -type because water is a natural electricity conductor, and if one is in the water, it gets electrocuted as well.
*The -type resists them because, in old legends, dragons were immune to the natural forces, electricity included.
*The -type resists them because plants and trees are made of materials that don't conduct electricity, like wood and rubber. Also, trees divert the electricity to the ground with their roots.
*They resist the -type because all kinds of metal alloys are great electrical conductors, positive magnetism attracts metal to the point of trapping it, and negative magnetism can repel metal. Something interesting about this is the -type isn't weak to them.
*They resist themselves because adding electricity to another source of electricity increases the source.
*There are electrical fly swatters in real life that are used to kill bugs. However, the type isn't super effective against types unless they are also flying.
==Trivia==
*The Electric-type ties with the -type for the least Mega Evolutions (2 each).
*The Electric-type ties with the -type for the least weaknesses (1 each).
*In Generation I, every Electric-type move had the word thunder in it.
*With Ash's Pikachu, Electric-type is the first type of Pokémon he owns.
* type, type, and type were the last three types to receive type (with Pawmo, Pawmot, and Iron Hands for Electric type; with Great Tusk for Ground type; with Iron Valiant for Fairy type) in Generation IX. 
*As of Generation IX, there have been no Elite Four members or Champions that specialize in the Electric type.
