Pokemon GO has an intricate meta of types, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. These types apply to the Pokemon themselves as well as their moves, and a Pokemon can possess more than one type. Multiple monsters have dual typings and moves of more than one type, but that comes with the title’s meta connections.
Among the several Pokemon GO typings, Electric-types are some of the most ferocions ones in battle. These monsters excel in Electric-type moves, and some even have a secondary-type attack providing extra coverage. Although several monsters share this type, not every Pokemon is powerful enough to stand as the strongest.
