Electrike

Say it: ELE-ctr-ike

Kids summary (simpler)Tap to expand

Electrike is the Lightning Pokémon — Electric before Manectric. In Pokémon GO it is usually candy on the way to Manectric — not a finished raid attacker. Electric helps against Water and Flying; Ground hits Electric hard. Catch Electrike from the wild, eggs, or events, then evolve. Wild Charge from Electrike Community Day belongs on Manectric.

Electrike (#309) is an Electric Pokémon in Pokémon GO — the pre-evolution of Manectric. Trainers almost never power Electrike for raids; the value is candy and IVs for Manectric (and Wild Charge / Mega Manectric). Against Electrike, lead with Ground.
