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.
