Electric-Type Pokémon are awesome, they have the least amount of weaknesses and are pretty versatile too. Despite being so useful, there are so many to choose from, making it impossible to find the ideal companion. So why not use your MBTI to figure it out?
Throughout all the games, there are 72 electric-typePokémon to choose from, each has their own uses depending on your play style. Whether you want to catch them all or win every battle, it’s so important to pick the right companion to be at your side. Which is why you let your MBTI® personality decide for you.
Your MBTI is a short test that explores your personality deeper than any other. It doesn’t just tell you what you like and dislike, it analyses your strengths, weaknesses, and even your relationship with others. Which is why it’s a perfect way to find that perfect electric-type Pokémon.
16 INTJ: Rotom
One of the most prominent traits that come with being an INTJ is being a jack of all trades, and nothing represents that more than Rotom.
Rotom has 5 different formes it can change into, meaning it is versatile and certainly a jack of all trades. Both are analytical and open-minded in battle, using every advantage they can get to succeed.
15 INTP: Togedemaru
This adorable Pokémon is equally as imaginative and enthusiastic as INTPs. Both aim for their goal and strive to reach it with enthusiasm and enjoyment overdetermination.
This isn’t to say that they do it easily. Togedemaru is prone to being rather reserved and second-guesses itself regularly. INTP’s are known to do this too so you can easily resonate and help your companion when it needs you.
14 ENTJ: Galvantula
So long as you’re not afraid of spiders, this Pokémon will make an ideal companion. Just like ENTJ’s, Galvantula is efficient in the way it stalks prey and fights in battles, using its electricity to its advantage.
Both are energetic and strongwilled, but often have an image of being cold and intolerant to people who disagree with them, which is why you need a colorful bug-like Galvantula by your side.
13 ENTP: Vikavolt
The traits that come with being an ENTP are typically positive. They are quick thinkers and pride knowledge over brawn during fights. Therefore, they need a companion who is equally as quick and smart.
This is why Vikavolt is so ideal. It is quick to attack and particularly disciplined when working with a trainer, meaning you don’t have to worry about it going on a tangent.
12 INFJ: Zapdos
One of the most telling reasons as to why this pairing is perfect is the privacy trait. Both INFJ’s and Zapdos love being alone, with Zapdos being renowned for living in thunderclouds and rarely being seen.
However, this isn’t the only reason, without always realizing it INFJ’s can be extremely inspiring with their determination and passion for reaching their goals. So it only makes sense to have an equally as inspiring companion.
11 INFP: Boltund
This adorable dog Pokémon is extremely loyal, but also hard-working and open-minded to whatever plans its trainer has.
Just like INFP’s, Boltund can adapt easily to different goals and is extremely selfless so it’s important to take some time to care for your Pokémon since both of you forget to take care of yourselves.
10 ENFJ: Raichu
One of the main traits that come with this personality is being a natural leader, and nothing says leader like Raichu. Whilst, not Pikachu, Raichu is just as selfless and adorable.
With Raichu by your side, you can achieve anything you desire since Raichu always keeps an open mind, just like an ENFJ.
9 ENFP: Luxray
Most ENFP’s are observant. They look for the best way to approach danger, they analyze almost every situation and discover the best way to go about it, which is why you need one of the most observant Pokémon in the game.
Luxray is known to have x-ray vision, so it can aid you in that curiosity and allow you to see things you’d normally miss. Whilst ENFP’s find it hard to focus, Luxray is determined and can easily set you on the right course.
8 ISTJ: Thundurus
When looking at Thundurus, it’s hard to not see a gene-like Pokémon who is interested in order and discipline above brawn.
This is ideal for INTJ’s since they are usually people who enforce order and always do things by the book. Both are strong-willed and stubborn, meaning they’re a force to be reckoned with.
7 ISFJ: Morpeko
This adorable Pokémon is equally as hard-working as any ISFJ so both will understand each other’s determination.
However, Morpeko changes form every time it gets hungry which can be an issue for those ISFJ’s who are reluctant to change. Luckily, all it needs is food to go back to normal.
6 ESTJ: Jolteon
This Eevee evolution is undeniably dedicated. Just like Eevee it is honest and loves being organized before a battle, something ESTJ’s will love.
Both can find it hard to relax before their goal is achieved and will be extremely stubborn when told to take a break.
5 ESFJ: Tapu Koko
The traits that come with being an ESFJ are constantly having a sense of duty, and being extremely warm and selfless, often to the point of not caring for yourself.
This is why having Tapu Koko at your side is so important. Since this Pokémon is known as the guardian deity of Melemele Island, it is clearly selfless. It also has that same sense of duty that ESFJ’s possess.
4 ISTP: Toxtricity
This punk Pokémon es undeniably energetic. With its multiple forms, it becomes a spontaneous companion who loves taking risks.
Just like ISTP, Toxtricity gets bored easily, so having a companion by your side who is energetic and spontaneous will definitely keep you on your toes.
3 ISFP: Electabuzz
Electabuzz would be an ideal partner due to its passionate way of battling and charming demeanor.
Since both ISFP’s and Electabuzz are passionate, they can keep each other from getting too involved in their goals and stop them from being too unpredictable.
2 ESTP: Zekrom
Zekrom is a badass Pokémon who fits the bill for ESTP perfectly. This Pokémon is bold, rational, and undeniably defiant.
ESTP’s have a more rational take on the games they play, preferring to get things done quickly rather than waiting. This is why you need a powerful and impatient companion like Zekrom, who will get those battles won quickly.
1 ESFP: Pikachu
It would be wrong if Pikachu wasn’t listed, especially since it lines up so perfectly with the ESFP personality type.
Both are bold, they’re observant and have wonderful people skills, often being the most confident and popular in their group of friends. With Pikachu by your side, the two of you will work together like clockwork.
