Electric Type Legendary Pokemon are some of the most exciting Pokemon ever, fullstop! Not only do they possess some of the coolest and most intruiging designs in the Pokeuniverse, it's fair to say they are pretty OP too. Designed to electrify your game, here are all the best Legendary Electric Pokemon ranked!
Best Legendary Electric Type Pokemon
7. Raikou
One of the most remarkable Legendary Electric Type Pokemon is Raikou, who embodies the speed of lightning. Known as the Thunder Pokemon, this Johto legendary Pokemon from Generation 2 is a formidable force in and out of combat, with exceptionally good Attack and Sp. Attack values, and very nice Speed to go with it. Its HP and Sp. Defense are also through the roof, meaning it is incredibly successful at wearing out opponents and possesses incredible stamina in combat. The first couple of games had some of the most amazing Electric-type Pokémon, and this Johto legendary is one of them. It appears as a tiger like Pokemon, with a curly purple mane and armour like appendages. When it roars, it sends shock waves shuddering through the air and shakes the ground as if lightning bolts had come crashing down. It's safe to say Raikou has already set the bar high for our next contenders on this list. PS check out Best Nicknames for Raikou here!
6. Zeraora
Our next best Legendary Electric Type Pokemon on the list is Zeraora, able to electrify its claws and tear its opponents apart with them. A pure Electric Type Pokemon from Generation 7, it is known as the Thunderclap Pokemon. In combat, Zeraora can close the distance between itself and its opponents as fast as lightning, dealing massive amounts of damage all at once. It's fair to say it's a potent offensive threat in combat. Even if its foes dodge its attack, they'll be electrocuted by the flying sparks.
Good attacks for Zeraora include Plasma fists, Close combat, Grass knot, Knock off, Volt switch and Bulk up.
5. Xurkitree
Our next best Legendary Electric Pokemon has to be Xurkitree, one of the mysterious life-forms known as Ultra Beasts. Known as the Glowing Pokemon, this Ultra Beast pure Electric-type Pokemon has the highest base Sp. Attack among all Electric-types, along with overall high stats, which is why a new nickname the “ultimate electric sweeper” has appeared amongst competitive players. Introduced in Generation 7, it appears as like a bunch of cable wires with a big star like head and perhaps its design has been inspired by neurons throughout the body, which carry electric impulses. One of the most powerful Electric type Pokemon and unique creatures to ever grace the Pokemon Franchise, astonishing electric shocks emanate from its entire body or form, according to witnesses.
4. Thundurus
A dual Electric and Flying type Legendary Pokemon from the Unova region and Generation 5, it rather looks instead like something out of mythology or some demonic creature. It's fair to say it looks pretty creepy and is generally disliked in the Pokemon Universe as it is a pretty destructive Pokemon, known to fly around, shooting lightning all over the place and causing forest fires here, there and everywhere. The spikes on its tail discharge immense bolts of lightning, hence it is known as the Bolt Strike Pokémon. Just as angry in combat, it boasts an incredibly high Sp. Attack stat, which it can use to great effect in both its Therian and Incarnate forms. The rest of its stats are also pretty well-rounded making it a great option for any team. It really does sum up the force of Mother Nature, even if it does look a bit like an old man/robot/mythological creature, flying around the Unova region firing off lightning bolts.
Good attacks for Thundurus include Thunderbolt, Focus blast, Nasty plot and Toxic.
3. Zapdos
One of our top three Best Legendary Electric Type Pokemon for sure is Zapdos, a legendary bird Pokémon that has the ability to control electricity. Zapdos is a legendary bird Pokémon that has the ability to control electricity. Usually found living in thunderclouds (as you do!) it also relies on its Pressure ability to wear down its enemies, although this dual Electric/Flying type creature already has incredible stats in almost every area. These powerful stats and few weaknesses make this thunderbird a well loved, old school Generation 1 competitive staple. Its typing means it also possesses a great advantage over all other legendary birds of its generation (including Lugia), with moves such as Thunder Shock alongside Drill Peck. It's said that when Zapdos rubs its feathers together, lightning will fall immediately after. It usually lives in thunderclouds and gains power when it is stricken by lightning bolts.
2. Tapu Koko
Our second Best Legendary Electric type Pokemon is the legend that quite literally is Tapu Koko. One of the Guardians of the Alolan Melemele Island and a member of the Four Tapu Land Spirit Pokémon, Legendary Tapu Koko is loosely based on a rooster and is influenced somewhat by the incredible and beautiful Maori culture in real life. It is an incredible magical looking dual Electric and Fairy type Pokemon, first introduced in Generation 7, observant, helpful, playful and a good judge of character. Naturally, as a defender of its area/territory, it possesses an explosive temper, which may also come in handy in combat. It has the highest Speed value among Fairy-types and his offensive capabilities and overall well-rounded stats make it a very popular Pokémon in competitive teams. Its ability to create an Electric Terrain upon entering the battlefield makes for great synergy with other electric-types as well.
1. Zekrom
The best Legendary Electric Type Pokemon on our list is of course Zekrom! So powerful that it can scorch the world with lightning, it assists those who want to build an ideal world and conceals itself in lightning clouds as it flies throughout the Unova region. This main legendary Pokémon for Generation 5’s White version is known as the Deep Black Pokémon. A bit ironic, I know. This incredible dark and shadowy dual Dragon/Electric-type Pokemon likes to help those who pursue their ideas and fight for their beliefs. It is known to be part of the Tao Trio.
