Base Stats
You won't find a real weakness in Tynamo's stat line. It's well-rounded for the EleFish Pokemon, and what it does with that depends on moveset and items. Yields 1 Speed EV, on a slow 1.25M XP grind.
While one alone doesn’t have much power, a chain of many Tynamo can be as powerful as lightning.
Tynamo Guide
For a casual playthrough, Tynamo works as a placeholder. Electric coverage is useful early. The real payoff is Eelektrik. That's where the stats start mattering.
Game Availability
Since Black & White, Tynamo has been obtainable in 9 games. A Generation 5 debut means a shorter history, but Tynamo has appeared steadily across every generation since.
