Electric Techs

Electric Pokemon are kind of strange in a way. There's barely any electric types, and the ones that are there aren't all that good. But I can think of one good tech that would describe almost every single good electric type. They can't stop hurting themselves. Think about all the really often used electric types.
   
Electabuzz for example. His first really good attack has one energy for ten damage and it may paralyze. That's really good. Now look at his second attack. For only 2 energy he can do up to 40 and at least 30. That's really good. But notice that the attacks hurts himself. If you get tails you will do ten damage to yourself if the coin doesn't land on heads.

Electabuzz isn't the only Pokemon. Look at every single Zapdos there is. EVERY single Zapdos can hurt itself one way or another. Especially rockets Zapdos. Now, damage done to the defending Pokemon is great of course but you can still hurt yourself with that attack incredibly. One more thing, the attack "thunderbolt" is on many electric Pokemon. That attack will always damage but it will also discard all energy attached to that Pokemon. So damage isn't the only thing that electric Pokemon hurt themselves with.

So, electric Pokemon are for the trainers who want to do a lot of damage for little energy, and for the trainers who don't care if they hurt themselves a little bit. A trainer should have electric Pokemon with decks that have a lot of energy and a lot of potions and berries.

=hard hitting electric Pokemon hurt themselves
=they also discard energy
