Electric Gym Leaders are Pokémon Trainers that specialise in the training and battling with Electric type Pokémon. They proved their ability and become leaders of a City Gym.
Throughout the Pokémon game series, players have to defeat Gym Leaders before challenging the Elite Four and finally the existing Champion in order to win the games. Within the games, a number of Gym Leaders only use Electric type Pokémon.
To have the best chance of defeating Electric Gym Leaders, the player’s team should include those Pokémon types that are strong when attacking Electric types – Ground type Pokémon.
