Eelektross might not be the first Electric-type Pokémon you think of when heading into battle in , but with a new move under its belt thanks to its July 2024 Community Day appearance, it's time to revisit its place in the meta. Whether you want to use it as an attacker in Raids or as a fighter in the GO Battle League, you'll need to know Eelektross's best moveset.
Tynamo is so small you can hardly see it, but its final evolution Eelektross is quite an intimidating creature. It first appeared in Pokémon Black & White's Unova region, before making its way into in 2021. Now that it's taken center stage in its very own Community Day event, you'll be able to evolve one that knows the featured Fast Attack, Volt Switch.
If you're looking to take part in PvP Battles in the Battle League, the best moveset for Eelektross is Volt Switch as a Fast Attack with Thunderbolt and Dragon Claw as Charged Attacks.
Volt Switch is a direct upgrade from Eelektross's other Electric-type Fast Attack, Spark, so it's definitely worth evolving an Eelektross during the July 2024 Community Day event to get it. If you miss that event, you'll get another chance during December 2024's Community Day event, where all of this year's featured Pokémon return for a special weekend-long celebration.
You can also use an Elite Fast TM to teach Eelektross the move Volt Switch, but considering how rare Elite Fast TMs are in, you're probably better off saving them for a more useful Pokémon.
When it comes to Charged Attacks, Thunderbolt is an essential move for Eelektross, as it benefits from Same Type Attack Boost (STAB) and lets it unleash a huge amount of damage on Flying-type and Water-type Pokémon. Round this out with Dragon Claw, a cheaper move that can bait shields and provide some extra coverage for enemies that are resistant to Electric-type attacks.
If you're looking to use Eelektross as an Electric-type attacker in Raid Battles, go with Spark as a Fast Attack and Thunderbolt as a Charged Attack
