Competitive Analysis

Wild Charge is a physical Electric-type move that deals 1/4 of the damage done to the user.

This move is a great Electric-type move for bulky Pokemon that can manage to take the recoil damage caused by Wild Charge.

Wild Charge and Other Physical Electric-type Moves

There are only a few Electric-type moves that are physical attacks. The commonly used ones besides Wild Charge are the weaker Thunder Punch and Thunder Fang, which are usually used as coverage moves by other types.

These moves may not hit as hard as Wild Charge, but they are safer as they do not deal recoil damage, and even has a chance to paralyze the target; something Wild Charge is not able to do.

Thunder Punch and Thunder Fang fits a safer playstyle, and are appropriate for offensive Pokemon which should have as much HP as possible at any given time in order to be able to dish out damage as turns go. Not much use for a knocked out Tapu Koko!

As for Wild Charge, the move is better used for bulky Pokemon with high HP and has options for recovery.
