Basics
Elekid is a Electric-type Pokémon. Its 100% IV CP is 689 at level 20 (raids, eggs and research), 861 at weather-boosted level 25 and up to 1,364 at level 50. It is weak to Ground attacks (1.6×). It resists Electric/Flying/Steel attacks. In raids, Thunder Shock + Thunderbolt is its strongest moveset (level 40, 100% IVs). It evolves into Electabuzz with 25 Candy.
