Is Eelektross Good in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Playthrough?

Zero type weaknesses. AbilityLevitate removes Electric's only weakness to Ground. Handles Kahili's Flying E4 with Electric and has coverage for almost anything else through the move tutors. No Pokemon in the entire game can hit Eelektross super-effectively. That alone makes it worth using.

USUM Eelektross Best Moveset

AbilityLevitate on a pure Electric type means zero type weaknesses in the format. 115 Attack and 105 Sp. Atk hit from both sides. But 50 Speed acts dead last against everything. The moveset has the unique distinction of no weaknesses on stats too slow to exploit it. D-tier through invulnerability to super-effective hits limited by Speed.

Eelektross Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Levitate changes the entire equation for Eelektross. The 515 BST doesn't tell the full story. Ranked C-Tier as a wallbreaker. Flamethrower with Assault Vest is the standard set.

  • In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Eelektross's biggest threats include Excadrill (Ground), all carrying super-effective STAB moves. Only 1 weakness means fewer dedicated counters to worry about.

  • Levitate is what you want on Eelektross. Every competitive set worth running is built with that ability in mind.

  • Base 50 Speed is low. Priority moves or Trick Room are the way to go. On offense, Eelektross is a special attacker with base 105 Sp. Atk. Defensively? Enough bulk to take a hit or two. Best used as a wallbreaker.

  • For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, the core moveset is Flamethrower, Giga Drain, Volt Switch, and Acidspray. Flamethrower leads at 0% usage. This set covers the wallbreaker role with a mix of damage and utility.

Game Availability

Eelektross joined the series in Black & White and has been available in 9 titles so far. With 6 generations of appearances, it's established itself despite the later start.
