Electric/Dragon strategy: rare coverage with four direct weaknesses
Electric/Dragon and Dragon/Electric are the same defensive pairing; this page uses electric-dragon as the canonical URL. Electric/Dragon combines strong neutral pressure with useful Fire, Water, Grass, Electric, Flying, and Steel resistances. Representative Pokémon include Mega Ampharos, Zekrom, Dracozolt, Miraidon, Raging Bolt. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Ice, Ground, Dragon, Fairy. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from ¼× resists Electric; ½× resists Fire, Water, Grass, Flying, Steel, but stats, ability, item, and format still decide whether a real Pokémon can use those entries repeatedly.
Offensive plan
Electric STAB threatens Water and Flying targets, while Dragon STAB supplies broad neutral damage and punishes opposing Dragons. Ground blocks Electric and also hits this pairing for 2×, while Ice, Dragon, and Fairy are the other direct weaknesses. The typing is best when coverage or teammates punish Ground and Fairy answers.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Electric/Dragon, start with the chart pressure: Ice, Ground, Dragon, Fairy. If a 4× weakness is listed, preserve that attack type before revealing it; if there is no 4× weakness, repeated 2× pressure and hazard chip usually matter more than a single surprise hit. Scout for abilities, Terastallization, weather, recovery, and pivot moves before assuming the visible multiplier ends the exchange.
Team-building advice
Electric/Dragon wants Ground, Ice, Dragon, and Fairy answers. Steel, Flying, Water, and Fairy teammates can help cover those lanes, while Electric/Dragon pressures Water and Flying cores for them. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Ice, Ground problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
