Electrike has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Attack is its highest stat (123), so it hits harder than it survives — a glass-cannon raid slot rather than a gym defender.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 3 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Electrike deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Electrike in Pokemon GO?
Electrike's best moveset is Quick Attack (fast) with Thunderbolt (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Electrike's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Electrike takes super effective damage from Ground-type moves. It resists Electric, Flying, Steel, so avoid those types against it.
What is Electrike's max CP in Pokemon GO?

A perfect 15/15/15 Electrike shows 551 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 689 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.

Electrike spawns in the wild, though how often depends on your biome and the active event. It can be traded between trainers.
Can Electrike be shiny in Pokemon GO?
