Attacking with Electric

Electric deals ×1.6 to Water and Flying, and ×0.6 to Grass, Electric and Dragon. Ground takes ×0.3 under the game’s softened immunity rule, so Electric attacks still deal damage.

Thunder Shock sends a fast projectile through multiple targets. Discharge maintains a damaging field around your partner. Thunderbolt jumps between neighbouring enemies. Choose according to where enemies are positioned, then plan around the card needed for the selected evolution. Thunder Wave marks a stun area, while Electro Ball bounces between enemies. Their recipes require Power and Sprint respectively.

Volt Plant: the Electric Rift arena

Quick enemies and electrified ground demand careful movement. Use short dodges between safe patches instead of chasing through hazards.

Seven legendaries can use Volt Plant. Raikou, Zeraora and Regieleki are pure Electric in this roster. Zapdos, Thundurus, Zekrom and Tapu Koko have a second type and can also use its arena. An Electric arena does not remove those secondary types from damage calculations.

Electric and run weather

Rain boosts Electric attack damage, including attacks used by enemies. Sandstorm and snowfall penalties depend on the partner’s complete typing and remain separate from damage matchups.

WeatherAttack damage of this typeAdditional effect
Rain×1.2This damage modifier applies to attacks from players and enemies.
Sandstorm×1Weather damage unless the partner also has Rock, Ground or Steel.
Snowfall×1Weather damage and up to 10% slower movement unless the partner has Ice as its other type.

Multipliers shown at full weather intensity; they transition gradually as weather starts and ends. ×1 means no change to this attack type’s damage. Weather protection checks both of the partner’s types.

Electric-type questions

What is Electric super effective against?

Electric deals ×1.6 to a single Water or Flying type. Against Water / Flying, the two advantages combine up to the ×2.4 cap.

Can Electric attacks hit Ground Pokémon?

Yes. A pure Ground target takes ×0.3 Electric damage in PokéSurvivor, rather than zero. Water / Ground takes ×0.48 before weather and upgrades.

How do Electric moves evolve?

Reach maximum move level, obtain its card and choose the evolution when offered. Thunder Shock → Thunder (Power); Discharge → Electric Terrain (Armor); Thunderbolt → Zap Cannon (Reflexes); Thunder Wave → Volt Tackle (Power); Electro Ball → Spark (Sprint).

Is base cooldown the final attack interval?

No. Upgrades modify cooldown. Charge time, duration and behavior also depend on the move; the listed base values come from the checked code and do not guarantee a final attack cadence.
