Pokémon is full of a bunch of unique creatures but some of them don’t make too much sense. This can especially be true for Electric-Type creatures because emitting electricity from their body isn’t something that any creature in the real world has the power to do. With the interesting variety of Electric critters in the franchise there are bound to be some weird ones and this list will cover a bunch of them.
There are so many peculiar Pokémon that are of the Electric-typing and this list will show fans 10 of them. From Magnemite to Alolan Geodude here are 10 Electric-type Pokémon and don’t make any sense!
10 Magnemite
This magnet Pokémon makes absolutely zero sense. A magnet shouldn’t be able to be a living creature which is why this Electric-type monster shouldn’t even be able to exist.
This Pokémon is strong especially once it evolves into its to larger forms and lots of Pokémon fans enjoyed catching it in generation 1. Just because it’s a popular Pokémon doesn’t mean that it should be overlooked that the developers didn’t try to give this Pokémon any logic!
9 Raichu Alolan Form
The new form of this fan-favorite creature unfortunately confused players and for good reason. The main thing about this Pokémon that didn’t add up is it became a Psychic-type once it evolved in the new region which is pretty bizarre.
Going from being a solely Electric-type to a dual Electric/Psychic-type is a major leap and the psychic abilities must have evolved over time because of some magical force in the Alola region that fans aren’t aware of. Fans hope that there’s a better explanation in the future but they shouldn’t hold their breath!
8 Arctozolt
This generation 8 fossil Pokémon doesn’t make sense because of its bizarre typing. It’s a dual Ice/Electric-type which is quite a weird combination and any Pokémon that’s trying to use this one in battle will realize that it’s attacks don’t mix together well.
Although the developers were probably trying to go for something new with a different kind of dual typing it ended up not making any sense and the generation 8 games never explain how it can attack in the way that it does.
7 Elekid
This little kid doesn’t make sense for two reasons, it wasn’t present in generation 1 and also the electric socket coming out of its head shouldn’t really exist in a creature from the wild.
How could a Pokémon evolve to have an electric socket coming out of its head? This is an unanswerable question and it’s clear that the developers didn’t think much about it and we’re just going for a cute design however when fans start thinking about it it just doesn’t add up!
6 Lanturn
This creature has an interesting Water/Electric-typing which doesn’t make sense because if there’s an Electric-type in the water it should immediately electrocute every other creature nearby.
A lot of fans try to make sense of this peculiar water creature but they just can’t come up with anything because this was an overlooked piece of the Pokémon and fans will, unfortunately, probably never get an answer to it.
5 Stunfisk
This is a peculiar Pokémon and it was featured in a lot in the anime because one of the main Unova characters had one. Most fans immediately think that this Pokémon is quite weird looking and that its ground Electric-typing is very peculiar.
The Ground/Electric-typing that this creature has is also quite puzzling. Unfortunately, there will probably never be an explanation in the future because of the way that the developers designed it is just the way that they do things.
4 Alolan Geodude
This is another new form in the Alola region and the reason it doesn’t make sense is that it’s basically a rack emitting electricity. Rocks cannot produce electricity in any form so this creature makes very little sense.
It does, however, have some kind of conductor on its back but that still doesn’t really make up for the fact that it’s quite the bizarre Pokémon to be given Electric-type to.
3 Rotom
These Electric-Type creatures are able to hop in-and-out of electric appliances somewhat like a ghost would be able to do. Fans love this creature because of how interesting and funny it is but when it comes down to the logic, it just doesn’t add up.
Having a Pokémon that can hop into a lawnmower or a refrigerator isn’t the most logical and fans should definitely question it to some extent. Luckily its a fan favorite so it doesn’t get too much flak but it is still somewhat confusing to most fans.
2 Electrode
This Pokémon is just a giant Pokéball and fans have been wondering how it functions for years. It rolls around trying to attack and self destruct itself to defeat its opponent.
A Pokéball shouldn’t be able to be alive and the developers didn’t seem to think much about this when creating the Pokémon. This is another generation 1 Pokémon that doesn’t make any sense at all!
1 Thundurus
The reason that this generation 5 legendary doesn’t make sense is that it literally rides on a cloud which it should fall straight through. Fortunately for it, it doesn’t fall straight through and it can continue its sky journey in peace.
Its counterparts also ride on clouds and fans wonder how transparent clouds can act as vehicles for these creatures. Maybe an appearance by these monsters in the future will give more insight to their clouds because as of current these legendaries make no sense!
