Pokemon:
Eelektross
Type: Electric/Poison
BST: 90/115/80/125/90/70 [BST: 570]
Abilities: Levitate
New Moves: Gunk Shot, Sludge Bomb, Toxic Spikes
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: With solid bulk, a powerful defensive typing in combination with its ability and decent movepool, Eelektross is now a dangerous threat in OU. Coil sets are now much more threatening with a Gunk Shot STAB option, and with a much higher special attack special sets are much more potent.
Sample moveset:
Eelektross @ Black Sludge
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 SpD
Ability: Levitate
Careful Nature
- Coil
- Gunk Shot
- Superpower
- Thunder Punch

Eelektross @ Choice Specs

Pokemon: Aurorus
Type: Electric/Ice
BST: 123/92/77/109/72/88 [BST: 561]
Abilities: Refridgerate / Lightning Rod [HA: Snow Warning]
New Moves: Volt Switch, Ice Shard, Aurora Veil,
Removed Moves: Rock Polish, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Rock Throw
Justification/Niche: Aurorus has a suprising amount of Electric typed attacks in its arsenal, so gaining tge Electric type is only a natural progression. Added its ability Lightning Rod as it seemed fitting with its height. Added the only fitting Eletric attack it doesn't learn, and added Ice Shard and Aurora Veil for good measure.
Sample moveset:
Aurorus @ Light Clay
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Ability: Snow Warning
Timid Nature
- Aurora Veil
- Volt Switch
- Freeze Dry
- Encore / Stealth Rock / Blizzard

Pokemon: Jolteon
Type: Electric
BST: 75/65/70/120/95/140 [BST: 565]
Abilities: Volt Absorb [HA: Adaptability]
New Moves: Spikes, Aura Sphere, Nasty Plot
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: Jolteon can now compete with other pure Electric types thanks to its interesting coverage and access to Nasty Plot. Spikes also gives it a great niche.
Sample moveset:

Jolteon @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Ability: Adaptability / Teravolt
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt

Pokemon: Pachirisu
Type: Electric/Ice (Ice matches its colour scheme)
BST: 70/105/70/75/100/125
Abilities: Adaptability, Quick Feet (Fur Coat)
New Moves: Ice Punch, Heal Bell, Slack Off
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: With an Electric/Ice type, the STABs are an obvious focus since, of course, they have the most amazing coverage of anything between them (besides possibly EdgeQuake, not sure there). Because of this, Adaptability is an obvious choice to make those STAB moves hit even harder. This is balanced by the below average attack stat of Pachirisu, and the fact that its physical options consist of Thunder Punch and Ice Punch, which aren't very powerful. Pachirisu's high speed allows it to sweep somewhat, and also lets it outspeed threats such as Greninja and Dugtrio in order to knock them out with its supereffective STABs. It is rather frail physically, though it can take a hit on the special side.

Fur Coat sends Pachirisu in a different direction. While it becomes much worse offensively, it can now survive physical hits a lot more comfortably than before. It can then use support moves such as Thunder Wave, Toxic and Super Fang to cripple the opposing team while also acting as a cleric with Heal Bell. It can also keep itself alive via Slack Off. Unfortunately, its defensive typing is rather bad due to having 4 very common weaknesses, in Ground, Fighting, Fire and Rock, which doesn't help in this role at all, although interestingly it does actually resist both its STABs, so it can beat other Pachirisu, as well as being a Flying switch-in.

Pokemon: Zebstrika
Type: Electric
BST: 75/105/63/100/63/136
Abilities: Galvanize, Solar Power (Emergency Exit)
New Moves: High Horsepower, Jump Kick, Fire Blast
Justification/Niche: With its ridiculously high speed, and good power after ability boosts, Zebstrika can be a very good offensive Pokemon. Physical sets have Galvanize-boosted STAB Return, along with great coverage in Jump Kick and High Horsepower. Tapu Bulu and Landorus are the only two really relevant Pokemon that resist all 3. Special sets can work under sun with sun-boosted Solar Power Fire Blast, along with Thunderbolt and Volt Switch for good STABs. Emergency Exit is just a gimmick which made sense on Zebstrika since it's a zebra, which are known for running away from predators a lot. Unfortunately, it's fairly easy to tell whether it's physical or special from team preview based on if there's a Sun setter on the enemy team, and with its still scarce movepool, Zebstrika has hardly any versatility and is rather predictable. It also gets worn down very fast between hazards, Life Orb, Solar Power damage and recoil from Jump Kick's rare miss.

G-Luke The OP says max of 3 new moves, did something change or is yours wrong?

Pokemon:
Pachirisu
Type: Electric/Ice (Ice matches its colour scheme)
BST: 70/105/70/65/100/125
Abilities: Adaptability, Quick Feet (Fur Coat)
New Moves: Ice Punch, Heal Bell, Freeze Shock
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: With an Electric/Ice type, the STABs are an obvious focus since, of course, they have the most amazing coverage of anything between them (besides possibly EdgeQuake, not sure there). Because of this, Adaptability is an obvious choice to make those STAB moves hit even harder. This is balanced by the below average attack stat of Pachirisu, and the fact that its physical options consist of Thunder Punch and Ice Punch, which aren't very powerful. Freeze Shock provides it with a 200-BP STAB Adaptability Z-Move to nuke anything it wants - Combined with Super Fang, it can very easily pick up KOs, and it also makes sense on this since it's an electricity-based Ice move. Pachirisu's high speed allows it to sweep somewhat, and also lets it outspeed threats such as Greninja and Dugtrio in order to knock them out with its supereffective STABs. It is rather frail physically, though it can take a hit on the special side.

Unfortunately its defensive typing is rather bad, which doesn't help in this role.
I'm afraid that Legendary-exclusive signature moves cannot be given, since it is exclusive to Kyurem-Black.
 
Mega Ampharos


Stats: 90 / 70 / 84 / 110 / 84 / 72 (510 BST)
Mega Stats: 90 / 80 / 96 / 160 / 96 / 88 (610 BST)
Abilities: Lightning Rod / Motor Drive (HA)
Mega Ability: Sheer Force
New Moves: Blizzard, Ice Beam, Slack Off
Justification/Niche: Mega Ampharos is now more powerful and faster than its regular counterpart, but at the cost of its Dragon-typing. It gains amazing Ice-type coverage as well as an recovery move and Sheer Force just gives a lot more power behind its moves. I feel like there are very few Electric-typed wallbreakers, as most of them are faster revenge killers / pivots. So I chose to give this role to Mega Ampharos and allow it to Wallbreak properly.
Alolan Sandslash


Stats: 100 / 130 / 70 / 120 / 75 / 60 (555 BST)
Abilities: Reckless / Slush Rush / Swift Swim (HA)
New Moves: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Wild Charge
Justification/Niche: Alolan Sandslash is now a potent Rain / Hail sweeper, it can work as a physical, mixed or special attacker thanks to its versatilty, prefering Blizzard on Hail and Thunder on Rain. It also deals with the Grass-types that wall most rain teams and the Water-types that wall most hail teams. It is still quite slow without its weather boosts though.
Toxicroak


Stats: 83 / 67 / 75 / 103 / 124 / 103 (555 BST)
Abilities: Natural Cure, Regenerator, Electric Terrain (HA)
New Moves: Thunderbolt, Thunder, Volt Switch
Justification/Niche: Toxicroak is a powerful and speedy Special Attacker, but with quite an interesting type combo and abilities, it can act as a pivot for offensive teams, being an amazing status absorber thanks to a Paralysis, Toxic and Sleep immunity under Electric Terrain, Toxicroak is also slower than Tapu Koko, but considerably stronger, it also has access to Focus Blast which compliments its STABs pretty well when coupled with HP Ice. On the flip, side, its physical bulk is quite underwhelming, and its quad weakness to Ground makes it tough for Toxicroak to take hits.​

Pokemon:
Electrode
Type: Electric
BST: 70 (+10) / 50 / 70 / 110 (+30) / 100 (+20) / 170 (+20) = 570 BST
Abilities: Aftermath / Soundproof / No Guard (HA)
New Moves: Focus Blast, Energy Ball, Calm Mind
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: Oh, Electrode, how I pity thee. Much like the previously buffed Unfezant, Electrode has some great tools that you'd think would make it worth using, but then it's EVERYTHING else makes it all come crashing down. So, to fix that, I gave Electrode 2 much needed things: a useful ability and more power. While Aftermath can be good in some situations, it's only good on defensive Pokemon like Garbodor, so Electrode needs an offensive ability that can set it apart from other Electric-types: No Guard. With No Guard, Electrde can freely spam Thunder and the new Focus Blast at no risk of missing, something many other Electric-types would kill for. Another thing that sets Electrode apart is it's slightly buffed immense speed. With it, it's the fastest thing in the meta, beating out Optimized Glalie (and Ninjask), meaning that it almost never has to worry about being outsped and can run Specs or Z-Crystals freely. If you decide that Glalie isn't much of a problem, then you could even run a Modest nature to help boost it's buffed Special Attack, too.
Oh yeah, one other thing, in September, this thing will get Zap Cannon via Gold/Silver... And guess what ability it's legal with?
Choice Specs:
Electrode @ Choice Specs

Pokemon:
Arbok
Type: Poison/Electric
BST: 80 (+20) / 125 (+30) / 81 (+12) / 65 / 104 (+25) / 115 (+35) = 570 BST
Abilities: Intimidate / Shed Skin / Strong Jaw (HA)
New Moves: Wild Charge, Volt Switch, Psychic Fangs
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: Flavor explanation? Do you know how cool an Electric snake would be? Yeah, that's the reason. Anywho, Arbok is now a powerful physical attacker with a great ability in Strong Jaw boosting some good previously weak coverage to new heights. With Strong Jaw, STAB Thunder Fang, Fire Fang, and Ice Fang all become 97.5 BP, making them very powerful moves hitting off of Arbok's 125 Attack. Not to mention, Crunch and Psychic Fangs both reach over the 120 BP mark, making them very strong coverage options and Poison Fang becomes a very slightly weaker Poison Jab with a better effect. Arbok also has a ton of other useful moves such as Seed Bomb, Earthquake, and Aqua Tail for coverage, Coil for setup (especially with that high Special bulk), Sucker Punch for priority, Switcheroo for crippling, and a ton of cool utility moves in Dragon Tail, Disable, Haze, and Glare.
Offensive Coil:
Arbok @ Life Orb / Black Sludge
Ability: Strong Jaw
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Thunder Fang
- Ice Fang / Crunch / Sucker Punch / Earthquake
- Coil

Choiced:
Arbok @ Choice Band / Choice Scarf
Ability: Strong Jaw
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Poison Fang
- Thunder Fang
- Ice Fang / Crunch
- Volt Switch / Switcheroo / Sucker Punch

SubCoil:
Arbok @ Black Sludge
Ability: Strong Jaw / Intimidate
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Thunder Fang / Earthquake / Crunch
- Substitute
- Coil

Avoid Earthquake (Defensive):
Arbok @ Black Sludge
Ability: Intimidate
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Def / 4 SpD
Impish Nature
- Poison Fang / Gunk Shot
- Haze / Dragon Tail
- Glare / Toxic
- Earthquake


Pokemon:
Luxray
Type: Electric/Ice
BST: 70 (-10) / 120 / 70 (-9) / 120 (+25) / 70 (-9) / 120 (+50) = 570 BST
Abilities: Slush Rush / Intimidate / Guts (HA)
New Moves: Ice Beam, Icicle Crash, Ice Shard
Removed Moves: Fire Fang
Justification/Niche: First, flavor-wise, color scheme fits + Lynxes can live in cold climates like Canada. Anywho, onto Luxray, it takes full advantage of how amazing of a combination STAB BoltBeam is with Great offenses, a good speed tier, and two very good options. You can break through walls with Guts (especially with the burn nerf buffing the heck out of Guts users), having immense physical power backed up by STAB priority in Ice Shard, but get worn down fairly quickly. Or, you can punch holes through the majority of the tier with literal BoltBeam and keep up momentum with Volt Switch, but have few coverage options outside of that. The choice is yours when you want to use Luxray, adding a layer of unpredictability that helps Luxray be a great choice for your team. Just keep it away from Optimized Hariyama.
Guts:
Luxray @ Flame Orb / Choice Scarf
Ability: Guts
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Wild Charge
- Icicle Crash

Special Attacker:
Luxray @ Life Orb / Choice Scarf
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature

- Hidden Power [Fire] / Hidden Power [Ground]
- Volt Switch

Z-Status Fun:
Luxray @ Electrium Z / Darkinium Z
Ability: Intimidate
Shiny: Yes
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Hidden Power [Fire] / Hidden Power [Ground]
- Electric Terrain / Fake Tears
Z-Electric Terrain: Raises Speed by 1 and will raise the power of Electric moves.
Z-Fake Tears: Raises our Special Attack by one and lowers the the opposing Pokemon's Special Defense by 2, either effectively becoming a Tail Glow or forcing the opponent out.

Pokemon: Aurorus
Type: Electric/Ice
BST: 113/92/77/109/72/88
Abilities: Refridgerate / Lightning Rod [HA: Snow Warning]
New Moves: Volt Switch, Ice Shard, Aurora Veil,
Removed Moves: Rock Polish, Stone Edge, Rock Slide, Rock Throw
Justification/Niche: Aurorus has a suprising amount of Electric typed attacks in its arsenal, so gaining tge Electric type is only a natural progression. Added its ability Lightning Rod as it seemed fitting with its height. Added the only fitting Eletric attack it doesn't learn, and added Ice Shard and Aurora Veil for good measure.
Sample moveset:
Aurorus @ Light Clay
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Ability: Snow Warning
Timid Nature
- Aurora Veil

- Freeze Dry
- Encore / Stealth Rock / Blizzard

Pokemon: Jolteon
Type: Electric
BST: 75/65/70/120/95/140
Abilities: Adaptability [HA: Teravolt]
New Moves: Spikes, Aura Sphere, Nasty Plot
Removed Moves: N/A
Justification/Niche: Jolteon can now compete with other pure Electric types thanks to its interesting coverage and access to Nasty Plot. Spikes also gives it a great niche.
Sample moveset:

Jolteon @ Life Orb
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 Spe
Ability: Adaptability / Teravolt
Timid Nature
- Nasty Plot
- Thunderbolt
- Aura Sphere
- Hidden Power [Ice]
Sorry to say that to an important mod like you, but Teravolt is Zekrom and Kyurem-Black's exclusive Ability (unless if I am wrong), but you can substitute with Mold Breaker since they work the same.

Do I have to keep scouting to correct mistakes? Oh, and I will give submissions soon, for anyone asking that. I will wait until at least G-Luke responds (he doesn't need to but just in case) because I think it would be impolite from me to double-post unless stated otherwise.

EDIT: I think I rather post'em here now, simply to avoid double-post.

Raichu

Stats: 75 / 110 / 70 / 110 / 70 / 135 (570 BST)
Abilities: Galvanize / No Guard / Lightning Rod (HA)
New Moves: Waterfall (to go with Surf), Ice Punch, Ice Beam
Justification/Niche: Raichu will work as a set-up Sweeper (it got both Sword Dance and Nasty Plot) and can use Extreme Speed or Fake Out (or even both) to go with Galvanize, or Thunder and Focus Blast to go with No Guard. Its three new moves are for coverage (with Surf being the special Water coverage), but it remains frail, and Electric is not the best defensive type as we know (but not the worst).

Electrode

Stats: 70 / 50 / 70 / 120 / 70 / 190 (570 BST)
Abilities: Competitive / Dazzling / Motor Drive (HA)
New Moves: Sludge Bomb, Aura Sphere, Ice Beam
Justification/Niche: The only Poison-type that is viable to OU is Gengar. Oh, and Scolipede and Nihilego. And Mega Venusaur too. But Electrode will be faster than them all, and it will specialize on taking down threats before they could even strike. And outside of Venusaur being a Grass-type, Electrode can use Ice Beam to take down pesky Ground-types.The only problem is how viciously frail it is and its double weakness to Ground, but when you have something faster than Optimized Glalie, be prepared for that.

Electivire

Stats: 75 / 143 / 67 / 85 / 95 / 105 (570 BST)
Abilities: Tough Claws / Motor Drive / Slush Rush (HA)
New Moves: Sword Dance, Ice Shard, Volt Tackle
Justification/Niche: Electivire is detested for being not fast enough and not being able to use its movepool well. Ice/Electric will not help it... if only it will not become a manly tough fast physical sweeper. While still frail on the Defense, it is fast enough to correctly sweep, and its high Attack of 143 can do a lot of damage, especially after a Sword Dance. Motor Drive or Slush Rush will help it to get faster too, on the right condition. Just remember, Ice/Electric is still a bad defensive typing, and Mach Punch, Bullet Punch, Accelerock and Vacuum Wave can ruin its day. And Unaware Hariyama exists to stop Sword Dance set-up, you know.

You know, even with good ol' Optimized Hariyama, this Electivire sounds very strong, so if anyone see this as a problem, please warn me.

Update: ...Holy shock, my Optimized Hariyama is monstrously bulky, especially with Unaware.
  • 252 Atk Life Orb Tough Claws Electivire Volt Tackle vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hariyama: 355-419 (70.4 - 83.1%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

  • 252+ Atk Choice Band Tough Claws Leafeon Leaf Blade vs. 252 HP / 0 Def Hariyama: 315-372 (62.5 - 73.8%) -- guaranteed 2HKO

  • 252+ SpA Choice Specs Bellossom Fire Blast vs. 252 HP / 0 SpD Hariyama in Sun: 444-523 (88 - 103.7%) -- 25% chance to OHKO
This is of course don't take Z-Attacks into consideration, but only, and only a very few Optimized Pokémon would be able to outright able to knock it out with full potential (without Z-Moves).

Since I saw people reserving stuff I assumed there was a rule in place that'd give them a reason to, so yeah.

formerly The Reptile

Pokemon:
Electivire
Type:

BST: 85(+10)/103(-20)/67/80(-15)/90(+5)/115(+20) [BST 540]
Abilities: Sheer Force / Vital Spirit (HA)
New Moves: Bulk Up, Close Combat, Volt Tackle
Removed Moves: none
Justification/Niche: With its new speed stat, Electivire can now outspeed a lot more than it used to be able to. While it took a dip in power, Sheer Force more than makes up for the relatively low power drop on both of its attacking stats, letting it hit hard with Sheer Force boosted Volt Tackles and elemental punches. While not spectacular, it has enough special bulk to try and set-up a Bulk Up or two somewhere. What really makes Electivire stand out among its electric brethren is the wide coverage it provides.


Sample moveset

Code:
All-Out Attacker (Electivire) @ Life Orb
Ability: Sheer Force
EVs: 252 Atk / 4 SpA / 252 Spe
Jolly Nature
- Volt Tackle
- Ice Punch / Fire Punch
- Earthquake / Close Combat
- Bulk Up / Rock Slide

Pokemon:
Rotom-Frost
Type:

BST: 50/65/107/105/107/86 [BST 520]
Abilities: Levitate
New Moves: Ice Beam
Removed Moves: Blizzard
Justification/Niche: Didn't change much from Rotom-Frost outside of its move, shifting it from Blizzard it Ice Beam. This gives it reliable BoltBeam coverage, letting it rock a nifty Scarf set. It can also serve as a nifty check to electric-types, especially those that rely on Hidden Power [Ice] and not much else for coverage. It does need some support to work, but with STAB BoltBeam Rotom-Frost can be a decent attacker.

Sample moveset

Code:
Choice (Rotom-Frost) @ Choice Scarf / Choice Specs
Ability: Levitate
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
IVs: 0 Atk
- Ice Beam
- Thunderbolt
- Volt Switch
- Trick / Will-o-Wisp

Pokemon:
Muk-Alola
Type:

BST: 105/105/75/65/100/50 [BST 500]
Abilities: Poison Touch / Regenerator / Strong Jaw (HA)
New Moves: Thunder Fang, Thunderbolt, Volt Switch
Removed Moves: Pursuit, Thief, Payback
Justification/Niche: The colorful (and now radioactive) pile of sludge becomes a bulky electric-type meant to take on various special attackers with its unique defensive typing. While it is very weak to Ground-type attacks, it has key resistances to Electric, Flying, Fighting, and Fairy which let it wall things pretty well. It has two great abilities in Regenerator and Strong Jaw, letting it do different rolls.


Sample moveset

Code:
Pivot (Muk-Alola) @ Assault Vest
Ability: Regenerator
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful / Sassy Nature
- Volt Switch
- Gunk Shot
- Thunder Fang / Shadow Sneak / Clear Smog
- Knock Off / Clear Smog

Curse (Muk-Alola) @ Black Sludge / Poisonium Z
Ability: Regenerator / Strong Jaw
EVs: 248 HP / 8 Def / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- Curse
- Gunk Shot / Poison Fang
- Thunder Fang / Taunt
- Knock Off / Taunt

Banded (Muk-Alola) @ Choice Band
Ability: Strong Jaw
EVs: 252 HP / 252 Atk / 4 SpD
Adamant Nature
- Gunk Shot
- Thunder Fang
- Crunch / Stone Edge
- Shadow Sneak / Stone Edge
 
Just a heads up, there's nothing stopping you from doing the same Pokemon, as long as it's different enough from each other's submission.

And yes, just check post #3 to see which Pokemon you can't use anymore because they won.

Also Exploudit we are only just changing base forms of the Pokemon. Megas won't get any stats changes (although they will get the new moves you give the base form), so you can change Ampharos all you want but not the Mega's stats/abilities.

Also technically G-Luke's Terravolt is a legendary exclusive ability so just change it to Moldbreaker

Loving the submissions though and keep them coming! :)

Just as a trivia, I imagined if Optimized Pokémon for their type are compatible for Pokébilities. This is just a thought and not a suggestion.

  • Lycanroc-Midday: Being able to use Double-Edge without troubles in sandstorm is very cool.
  • Emboar: Head Smash and Flare Blitz will hurt a lot without even harming Emboar himself! Oh, and Aqua Jet will still be useless against it.
  • Bastiodon: The Sandstorm Master. Should I say more?
  • Glaceon: Surely better than outside of Pokébilities, as Glaceon is able to pull full potential of its STAB Ice attacks while laughing at Stealth Rocks.
  • Glalie: It's Ice Fang can become a pain in the neck, especially after a Shell Smash set up.
  • Froslass: Snow Cloak would not be allowed obviously, but otherwise it functions as a Hail setting Toxic spreader.
  • Unfezant: Aeriliate + Technician = Painful Quick Attack!
  • Cryogonal: Can use Tri Attack as its Flying STAB and able to Intimidate physical opponents at the same time. Very useful against typical Fighting-types.
  • Farfetch'd: No one can intimidate him, and his Critical Hit will be a major pain with Stick!
  • Hariyama: My Hariyama is versatile does to able to fill various roles does to different abilities. Now with all three, only Super Effective moves are the solution.
  • Beartic: A powerful Refrigerate sweeper who don't care for Accuracy, and will love rain.
  • Primape: Lower his stats, he will punish you with his Wild Charge or High Jump Kick.
  • Kriketune: A nice bulky Bug-type Pokémon, now able to fill more roles at once.
  • Crustle: Same as normal Optimized Crustle, but with more Abilities at once, so it can work better on Sand.
  • Flygon: Surely better than before, able to appreciate Sand while avoiding Earthquake at once.
  • Leafeon: Grass-type Mega-Zard-X, now able to go faster under the sun.
  • Dedeene: Berry specialist, and Anti-Grass with Sap Sipper.
  • Bellossom: Sun specialist, and can use Rest and switch away in the case of emergency.
 
Pokemon: Ampharos
Type: Electric
BST: 90/60/105/115/105/95
Abilities: Levitate / Regenerator / Prankster
New Moves: Tail Glow, Recover, Ice Beam
Justification/Niche: Defensive pure Electric type that can remove its weakness with Levitate. It finally has Tail Glow to take its Special Attack up three stages. It can also use Prankster Tail Glow/Recover/Heal Bell or be a Volt Switch pivot with Regenerator. Ice Beam for Boltbeam and to deal with Ground types.
Sample moveset:

Ampharos @ Leftovers/Life Orb
Ability: Levitate/Prankster/Regenerator
EVs: 252 Spd / 4 Def / 252 SpA Bold / Timid Nature
- Tail Glow/Heal Bell
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Recover

Pokemon: Vanilluxe
Type: Electric/Ice
BST: 75/50/95/130/95/125
Abilities: Magic Guard / Storm Drain / Lightningrod
New Moves: Volt Switch, Thunderbolt, Earth Power
Justification/Niche: Expanding its theme of snowstorms to include thunderstorms, Vanilluxe hits fast and hard with that Boltbeam coverage. Magic Guard removes SR weakness and makes Volt Switch pivots safer. It also allows safe Life Orb power-ups. Storm Drain makes it a great Water type counter. Earth Power for coverage and to deal with non-Air Balloon Magnezone. One the other hand, Lightning Rod makes Vanilluxe not as susceptible to a Magnezone switch-in (Electric removes Steel weakness).
Sample moveset:

Vanilluxe @ Life Orb
Ability: Magic Guard
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 Def / 252 SpA Timid/Modest Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Ice Beam
- Flash Cannon
- Freeze Dry/Earth Power

Pokemon: Weezing
Type: Electric/Poison
BST: 75/70/120/100/100/105
Abilities: Levitate / Prankster / Unaware
New Moves: Volt Switch, Aromatherapy, Slack Off
Justification/Niche: Another defensive take on an Electric type combo. It already learns Thunderbolt, which allows for more new moves. You can take advantage of its immunity to poison and paralysis by making him a cleric with Prankster Aromatherapy/Slack Off. Being a poison type, it can also fire accurate priority Toxic. Other Prankster options include Taunt and Will-o-wisp. Unaware is also an option with Clear Smog.
Sample moveset:

Weezing @ Leftovers
Ability: Levitate/Prankster/Unaware
EVs: 252 HP / 4 SpD / 252 Def Bold/Calm Nature
- Volt Switch/Thunderbolt
- Sludge Bomb/Clear Smog
- Slack Off
- Toxic/Will-o-wisp/Taunt
 
Pokemon: Plusle
Type: Electric
BST: 60/50/60(+20)/125(+40)/90(+15)/135(+40) (BST: 520)
Abilities: Pure Power HA: Magnet Pull
New Moves: Aura Sphere, Volt Tackle, Close Combat
Sample moveset:

Plusle @ Choice Specs
Ability: Magnet Pull
EVs: 252 SpA / 4 SpD / 252 Spe
Timid Nature
- Thunderbolt
- Aura Sphere
- Hidden Power [Fire]
- Volt Switch
