Electric/Grass strategy: pivot pressure with four direct weaknesses
Electric/Grass and Grass/Electric are the same defensive pairing; this page uses electric-grass as the canonical URL. Electric/Grass is a pressure pairing that threatens Water, Flying, Ground, and Rock targets while resisting Electric, Grass, Steel, and Water interactions. Representative Pokémon include Mow Rotom, Hisuian Voltorb, Hisuian Electrode. The standard type chart gives this combination no 4× weakness and 2× weak to Fire, Ice, Poison, Bug. It has no type immunity under the standard chart. Its main defensive value comes from ¼× resists Electric; ½× resists Water, Grass, 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 Grass STAB pressures Water, Ground, and Rock targets. Fire, Ice, Poison, and Bug are the chart weaknesses, so the user needs careful positioning against common coverage. The pairing is strongest when it can pivot or force Water and Ground answers to respect both STAB options.
Counterplay and defensive risks
To counter Electric/Grass, start with the chart pressure: Fire, Ice, Poison, Bug. 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/Grass needs Fire, Ice, Poison, and Bug answers. Steel, Fire, Flying, and Water partners can cover those lanes while Electric/Grass checks Water and Electric pressure. Use the Team Calculator to check whether the rest of the six stacks the same Fire, Ice problem, then compare the full defensive chart before choosing moves or teammates.
