Hisuian Electrode Movesets & Competitive Sets

Hisuian Electrode is a strong pivot that utilizes its high Speed and decent STAB combination to chip away at and eventually break through opposing teams. Thunderbolt provides a consistent source of damage, while Leaf Storm acts like a nuke against neutral targets and Ground-types looking to block Volt Switch such as Landorus. Tera Blast Ice nails Grass- and Dragon-type Pokemon like Hydrapple and Eternatus for super effective damage, while Tera Blast Fire hits Zacian-C, Iron Treads, and specially defensive Excadrill. Volt Switch is Hisuian Electrode's most spammable move, allowing it to pivot out and maintain momentum against checks such as Kyurem-W and Galarian Slowking. Heavy-Duty Boots allows Hisuian Electrode to safely pivot on and off the field throughout the game. Hisuian Electrode best fits on teams looking for a strong, special attacking pivot. However, a high Special Attack god like Kyurem-W or Eternatus is required to allow it to actually make progress. Hisuian Electrode pairs well with other offensive pivots such as Landorus-T, Meowscarada, and Hisuian Samurott, as they can chip away at each other's checks. Meowscarada in particular is helpful, as Triple Axel nukes the aforementioned Grass- and Dragon-types that wall Hisuian Electrode, allowing it to comfortably run Tera Fire over Tera Ice. Alternatively, slower pivots such as Pecharunt, Corviknight, and Mandibuzz are helpful in bringing Hisuian Electrode onto the field safely, circumventing its relative frailty. Hisuian Electrode also appreciates powerful physical attackers such as Great Tusk and Weavile, as they are able to break special walls such as Eternatus and Galarian Slowking. Lastly, entry hazard setters like Skarmory, Clefable, and Landorus-T are helpful, as they let Hisuian Electrode's constant pivoting force chip damage onto its checks, allowing it to beat them long-term.

Hisuian Electrode is a great offensive pivot thanks to its amazing Speed, access to Volt Switch, and powerful STAB Chloroblast for Ground-types like Swampert, Great Tusk, and Sandy Shocks. Thunder Wave cripples switch-ins like Roaring Moon, Hisuian Goodra, and Ogerpon-H, potentially letting Hisuian Electrode's teammates outspeed and threaten them, while Leech Seed lets it chip down walls such as Blissey and Hisuian Goodra and heal. Worry Seed removes Volt Absorb from walls like Corviknight and Empoleon and Regenerator from Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta, letting it chip the latter two, especially with entry hazards on the field. Hisuian Electrode forms a great VoltTurn core with other offensive pivots like Barraskewda, Roaring Moon, and Slither Wing, as they can bring it in on physical walls like Corviknight and Great Tusk, and it can bring them in on special walls like Hisuian Goodra and Meloetta. Entry hazard setters like Heatran, Scream Tail, and Deoxys-D are great teammates thanks to hazards wearing down Hisuian Electrode's switch-ins like Roaring Moon, Hisuian Goodra, and Heatran; in return, it can threaten common hazard removers like Corviknight, Great Tusk, and Mandibuzz. Hisuian Electrode struggles to break through specially defensive walls like Blissey, Hisuian Goodra, and Meloetta, so physical wallbreakers like Ceruledge and Galarian Zapdos are appreciated. Hisuian Electrode is also frail and has a middling defensive typing, so slow, bulky pivots that can take a hit and safely pivot it in like Corviknight and Swampert make good partners.
