Base Stats
They store up electricity to fly through the air. When thunder cracks at night, sometimes there are almost enough of them to blot out the sky.
As it flies, it scatters electricity around, so bird Pokémon keep their distance. That’s why Emolga can keep all its food to itself.
Emolga Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon Guide
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, watch for Walrein (Ice) and Rhyperior (Rock) when using Emolga. They all hit it super-effectively with STAB. Only 2 weaknesses means fewer dedicated counters to worry about. Emolga's base 103 Speed lets it outpace many threats and strike first, which matters more than trying to tank hits.
For Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, it depends on your team. Emolga at 428 BST isn't a powerhouse, but the Electric/Flying coverage might be exactly what you're missing.
In Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon, Emolga works as a pivot with 428 BST behind it. C-Tier on our list: a niche pick in Ultra Sun & Ultra Moon's meta. Nuzzle with Magoberry is the standard set.
Static has a 30% chance of paralyzing attacking Pokémon on contact. That's the one you want on Emolga. Motor Drive is the hidden ability. Niche, but it has its uses.
Emolga is a mixed attacker with base 75 Attack and 75 Sp. Atk. Speed tells the real story. Base 103 Speed lets it outrun most of the field. Fits the pivot role.
