Competitive Analysis

Electric Terrain is one of the four terrains usable in the game. Once it is in the field, Electric Terrain will have numerous effects.

Do note that only Pokemon on the ground are affected by this, and Flying-types, Pokemon with Levitate, or those holding Air Balloon will not be affected.

Electric Terrain and Other Moves

While Electric Terrain is active, all Electric-type attacks will be 30% stronger. This makes the terrain a great field for Regieleki with its Transistor Ability and offensive Electric-type Pokemon using Choice Band or Choice Specs.

The move Rising Voltage from Isle of Armor has its base power doubled when used in Electric Terrain.

As for environment-dependent moves, Terrain Pulse becomes an Electric-type move and its power is doubled. Nature Power becomes Thunderbolt.

Pokemon Cannot Fall Asleep

Pokemon under the effects of Electric Terrain cannot fall asleep. This includes both situations where the status is targeted or self-inflicted.

For example, Yawn, Spore, and Sing will not work. Rest will fail as well.

Abilities Tied to Electric Terrain

Sending out a Pokemon with Electric Surge in the field will automatically spawn Electric Terrain.

Alolan Raichu will have its Speed doubled because of its Surge Surfer Ability.

Items Tied to Electric Terrain

Pokemon with Electric Seed will consume the item and raise their Defense stat, which is useful as Electric-type Pokemon are weak to Ground-type moves which are dominantly physical attacks.

Terrain Extender will extend Electric Terrain from five turns to eight turns.

Electric Terrain and Electric-Flying Pokemon

Zapdos, Tornadus and its Therian Forme, Fan Rotom, and Emolga are Electric and Flying-type Pokemon. These Pokemon have rather unique interactions with Electric Terrain due to their mixed typing.

These Pokemon's Electric-type moves will still be boosted as the boosting effect ignores whether the attacker is grounded or not. This also applies to those with Levitate and other un-grounding mechanics.

However, Rising Voltage will not have its powered doubled as it needs to have the user be affected by Electric Terrain; that is, on the ground.

The same principle also applies to the sleep status condition. As they are not affected by Electric Terrain, these Pokemon can fall asleep and be hit by sleep-inducing moves.
