Eelektross is a potent pivot in the PU metagame thanks to its fantastic coverage, access to STAB Volt Switch, and its ability, Levitate, which removes its weakness to Ground-type moves. Those qualities, along with its good bulk, allow Eelektross to check the likes of Froslass and Swanna. Volt Switch is useful for getting out of unfavorable matchups against Pokemon like Type: Null and Assault Vest Hitmonchan. Its great movepool, including Giga Drain, Drain Punch, and Flamethrower, allows Eelektross to circumvent Pokemon like Guzzlord, Victreebel, and Mudsdale, which resist or are immune to Volt Switch. Volt Switch also allows Eelektross to provide momentum and get teammates such as Stoutland in safely. Eelektross's coverage can force switches, so make sure to pair it up with hazard setters such as Regirock or Ferroseed. Eelektross does not appreciate being worn down by status, so Gurdurr is a great option that can take advantage of status thanks to Guts and can sponge physical hits.
