Electric Moves in Pokemon Go: When we talk about electric Pokemon our mind speaks of one name Pikachu one of the most beloved Pokemon. Electric-type Pokemon have always been held in quite a high regard.
The franchise’s resident rodent mascot, Pikachu, is an Electric-type, after all. The fact alone has probably done wonders for Electric’s reputation.
