Soloing an Electivire is not a piece of cake for beginners who don’t have access to the high-level counters. This job is for those who have leveled up their Pokemon like Groudon and have Primal Energy to trigger the Primal Reversion process. One Mega critter can also be used to create a lineup for Pokemon GO Electivire raids.

As an Electric-type Pokemon in the mobile game, Electivire is only weak to Ground-type attacks. It is resistant to moves of its own typing, Flying, and Steel. Despite the resistance, it receives reduced damage from them. So, if you want to defeat Electivire in Pokemon GO, ensure only Ground-type moves are taught to counters.

The best ones are Primal Groudon, Garchomp, Excadrill, Shadow Rhyperior, Therian Forme Landorus, and Mamoswine. When this Primal creature is selected, it makes Ground-type counters not only strong but also boosts the damage output of their moves. This is crucial since charging Electivire in Pokemon GO alone requires you to be strong in all aspects.

The STAB and Weather Boost effect improves the damage output of all Ground-type moves provided here:

• Primal Groudon: Mud Shot and Precipice Blades
• Garchomp: Mud Shot and Earth Power
• Shadow Rhyperior: Mud-Slap and Earthquake
• Excadrill: Mud-Slap and Scorching Sands
• Therian Forme Landorus: Mud Shot and Sandsear Storm
• Mamoswine: Mud-Slap and High Horsepower

The above-mentioned counters can solo defeat Electivire in Pokemon GO in less than 180 seconds. It's worth noting this creature will boast a combat power of 21,133, an Attack stat of 249, a Defense stat of 163, and a Stamina stat of 3,600 HP in raids.

Additionally, it will be seen with Thunder Shock and Low Lick as its Fast Attacks, and Flamethrower, Ice Punch, Thunder Punch, Thunder, and Wild Charge as its Charged Attacks.

As a final note, you will want to stock up on healing items such as Revive and Max Revive to heal your fainted Pokemon GO Electivire counters.
