Pokemon Scarlet & Violet is now out on Nintendo Switch and fans of the franchise can explore the new land of Paldea and collect exciting and new Pokemon along with some old favorites.
Fans of electric-type creatures should rejoice about Scarlet & Violet as the games are filled with shocking Pokemon, including the new Pikachu clone Pawmi. With 35 electric types to find in Paldea, gamers will certainly have their work cut out for them. Three of them are version exclusives to Violet so make sure to pick it up if electric-types are a favorite.
10 South Province Area Four
South Province Area Four is the home of electric types in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet with ten of the shocking creatures located in this area: Pawmo, Pichu, Pikachu, Ampharos, Tadbulb, Toxel, Toxtricity, Pachirisu, Tynamo, and Eelectrick.
Search by the rivers, in the grass, and up in the mountains of these terrains for the vast range of the electric types found in this location. Toxtricity is a great Pokemon to use in the game. This poison/electric type is a fantastic battler, great against the flying type Elite Four member Larry and the team star fairy base.
9 South Province Area Two
This area is another great one for those electric types, six of them roam throughout this landscape. This is the only location to capture fan-favorite sheep 'mon Mareep.
Mareep, of course, evolves into Ampharos, which has captured gamers' hearts since its debut back in 2001 in Gold & Silver. With 115 special attack, water and flying-type trainers should run scared from Ampharos' thunderbolt. Also found here are Pawmo, Pichu, Pikachu, and Tadbulb.
8 South Province Area Six
Much of the same Pokemon can also be found here. Players will want to search high and low in the South Province for the electric types. Generation 9 Pawmo and Tadbulb are situated here, and they are the ones to pick up.
Pawmo is the evolved form of Pawmi, and it is the Pikachu clone for this generation. It evolves into Pawmot which has a unique method of evolution that uses the new let's go feature. Tadbulb evolves into Bellibolt, which is an absolute tank in the game with 109 hp and 103 special attack.​​​​​​​
7 West Province Area Three
Found here are some very rare electric types in the game: Pichu, Pikachu, Tadbulb, Jolteon, Pachirisu, Dedenne, and Voltorb make this area their home.
Jolteon is the pick of the bunch here. This eeveelution has been a go-to electric type since 1999, and it is one of the only locations to find it in Paldea. Having all of the eeveeelutions is something that players like to do with every edition of Pokemon and it is easier than ever as they can be found in the wild in Paldea.​​​​​​​
6 The Great Crater Of Paldea
Once the main portion of the game is complete the Great Crater of Paldea opens up to the player. Here rare and exclusive Pokemon can be found, including some really strong electric types. Gamers who have the Violet version will want to search here as the future paradox Pokemon Iron Hands and Iron Thorns are found here. The ride pokemon Miraidon becomes accessible here, which of course is electric/dragon type.​​​​​​​
Shandy Shocks is found here in Scarlet, Raichu and Bellibolt are located amongst these paradox Pokemon in both versions. The Great Crater of Paldea is certainly one of the best locations to search for electric types.​​​​​​​
5 East Province Area One
This area is home to five electric-type Pokemon: Pawmo, Pichu, Pikachu, Ampharos, and Tadbulb. If gamers are lucky maybe one of these Pokemon will be a shiny type. It is a real shame that mega-evolutions aren't in the game as Ampharos' dragon type with the flowing hair is something magical.
Pikachu, of course, is the series' mascot and if gamers did not pre-order the game to get the flying tera-type Pikachu, then searching here for that electric mouse is something that should be done.
4 East Province Area Two
Pichu, Wattrel, Magnemite, and Rotom are all found here, some very rare and usable electric types. Rotom is an amazing Pokemon due to its flexibility, and can become multiple other types with the use of the Rotom Catalog, found in the Auction House in Port Marinada.
Wattrel is the new starter bird in this generation and it is a fantastic addition to the franchise, an electric bird with amazing speed could be a prominent member of any trainer's roster.
3 South Province Area Five
The little lion Luxio can only be found in this area, which evolves into Luxray, a useful Pokemon indeed. Luxio evolves at level 30 so make sure to find one in this area.
Also available are Pachirisu, Ampharos, and Tadbulb, some wonderful additions to the party, and any trainer's collection. Pachirisu is another Pikachu clone and lots of them are available in this game. Can the Elite Four be beaten with a team full of Pikachu-like Pokemon?
2 West Province Area 1 & 2
Throughout these two areas in the West Province, Pawmo, Flaaffy, Ampharos, Tadbulb, Bellibolt, Rotom, Tynamo and Eelektrik can all be found. Search across this terrain well to fill the collection.
Tynamo and Eelektrik eventually evolve into Eelektross, a great mixed attacker that is vital for any electric team in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet. The West Province is a perfect place to catch Tynamo. Make sure to search the coastline as this tiny Pokemon is known to swim.​​​​​​​
1 Glasaedo Mountain
This icy mountain is home to so many different types of Pokemon around its immense slopes and at the base. Magneton is the pick here from Glasaedo Mountain. The electric/steel magnet Pokemon evolves into Magnazone when given a thunderstone and it is a beast of a Pokemon.
Also found here are Pawmo, Ampharos, and Bellibolt. Although mainly ice-types are found hidden in the cracks, these electric types are worth it, so make sure to brave the cold and climb these slopes on Koraidon or Miraidon to locate them.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is available now for the Nintendo Switch.​​​​​​​
