Tynamo sits at the start of its evolution line — not yet at full power, but that changes fast. Most trainers push through to Eelektross as fast as possible. Only weak to Ground. Known as the EleFish Pokemon.
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.
One alone can emit only a trickle of electricity, so a group of them gathers to unleash a powerful electric shock.
