20 Most Overrated Pokémon In History

Electric type Pokémon have invariably almost always fallen into a very specific set-up. They are fast and deadly when striking first with Special Attack moves, but they struggle to ever offer much in the way of solid HP or good physical stats. You may think that a dual Electric/Normal type would do a good job of mitigating this, then.

But, while many current players clearly seem to think the same, you'd be wrong. Heliolisk is a beast that still falls into the same one-dimensional category as the likes of Pikachu or Electrike before it. The extra type is a nice addition, but really it only serves to add just as many new weaknesses as it does strengths.

While Electric attacks can be devastating with the potential added effects of Paralysis, they're risky business if you're not using the right Pokémon. And Heliolisk is certainly not the right Pokémon for this in the current competitive field.
