Elekid, the Electric Pokemon

Who doesn't like Electric-type Pokemon? They only have one weakness, Ground. The moves my Elekids come out of the egg with are as follows:

Cross Chop
Ice Punch
Fire Punch
Thunder Punch

The process to get these little bags of volts is a tad more complex than it was for the Cottonees. Observe:

1) Breed a male Hitmonchan(whose moveset should include Fire Punch, Ice Punch, and Thunder Punch) with a female Machop. Breed for a male Machop.
2) Raise that male Machop to lv 43 and teach it Cross Chop(or lv 44 if you let that Machop evolve). It's moveset should now be Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Ice Punch, and Cross Chop.
3) Now you will breed that male Machop/Machoke/Machamp with a female Electabuzz that knows Thunder Punch.
4) The offspring should be an Elekid with the proper moveset.

I should note that you can breed for a Machop with the same moveset if you breed that male Machop with a female Machop that knows Cross Chop.

For the raising of this Elekid, do not level it up at all until you are positive it is at maximum happiness. At level 2, if it is at full happiness, it will turn into an Electabuzz. Once it is an Electabuzz, you can trade it while it holds the Electrizer to turn it into an Electivire. This will allow you to get the most out of your Electivire.

Once it is an Electivire, use the TM for Earthquake and forget Fire Punch. The final moveset will be:

Thunder Punch
Cross Chop
Ice Punch
Earthquake

Why this moveset? Because it is a varied moveset to take down lots of types. With this moveset, it can fight off 13 different types, all but 4. And one of those 13 weaknesses it can fight off is Ground, its only weakness. Not really much else to say, I think it speaks for itself.

That is my Elekid build, and how to change it for its evolution. If you find you do not like Earthquake over Fire Punch, you can relearn it at the Move Relearner. As always, open to comments and ideas.

Brock out.
