    All the Pokemon that can learn it are Rock and Steel types

    True, though what does Giaru and Geodude have left to cut off themselves? Though maybe we'll finally be able to see what is in Forretress's shell.

    No we won't, Body Purge just shoots out random balls around and the sprites stay the same.

    I know, I was just talking in general (and maybe something the anime could do...).

    Looks good, though i gotta question why you'd use the electric squirrel. And, i suggest the dark dragon over the psychic.... bird thing.

    Because Emonga is cute! And I needed an Electric Type. I was thinking the Dragon too...but Shinbora gets STAB from Fly, I'll probably just use it until I can get the Dragon.

    In terms of Electric-type Pokemon Generation V didn't really have any winners which were non-Legendary, closest would be Shibirudon who's stronger then Ampharos but weaker than Luxray.

    Use TMs on it, it's not like they'll go to waste being TMs are no longer one use.

    I did look at Denchura's stats, and it's the lowest of the fully evolved non-Legendary Electric-types:


    Denchura
    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f5/596.png
    HP: 70
    Attack: 77
    Defense: 60
    Sp. Attack: 97
    Sp. Defense: 60
    Speed: 108
    Total: 472


    Zebraika
    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/71/523.png
    HP: 75
    Attack: 100
    Defense: 63
    Sp. Attack: 80
    Sp. Defense: 63
    Speed: 116
    Total: 497


    Shibibiru
    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/58/604.png
    HP: 85
    Attack: 115
    Defense: 80
    Sp. Attack: 105
    Sp. Defense: 80
    Speed: 50
    Total: 515


    If you care about Speed you're better going with Zebraika and if you don't then you're better with Shibibiru. I guess you can make an argument for Denchura for a Speed & Sp. Attack combo, though overall it's out performed.

    Okay, let's talk about the typing:


    Denchura
    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/f/f5/596.png
    Weakness (x2): Rock & Fire
    Resistance (x.5): Fighting
    , Steel, Grass, & Electric


    Zebraika
    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/7/71/523.png
    Weakness (x2): Ground
    Resistance (x.5): Flying
    , Steel, & Electric*
    Immunity (x0): Electric* & Grass**


    Shibibiru
    http://archives.bulbagarden.net/media/upload/5/58/604.png
    Weakness (x2): Ground***
    Resistance: Flying
    , Steel, & Electric
    Immunity (x0): Ground***


    * If Zebraika has either the Ability Lightningrod or Motor Drive it becomes immune to Electric-type attacks.
    ** If
    Zebraika has the Ability Herbivorous it becomes immune to Grass-type attacks.
    ***
    Due to Shibibiru's only Ability, Levitate, it is immune to Ground-type attacks.


    Now while Denchura does lose the Electric-type's infamous Ground-type weakness, it now has a Rock-type weakness which honestly isn't any better then it being weak to Ground-types. It also has a second weakness, the Bug-types infamous Fire-type weakness. And as far as Resistance's go, nothing impressive.
    Going to
    Zebraika, an interesting thing to note that no matter what Ability it has it'll gain an immunity from it. Now for its usual Abilities this is nothing special as it's resistance to Electric-types anyway, however the Herbivorous brings up something interesting. Though Electric-types usually receive neutral damage from Grass-type attacks, Grass-type Pokemon are resistant to Electric-type attacks so in a battle with a pure Electric-type vs. a pure Grass-type the Grass-type will have the advantage. But now add in Zebraika with the Herbivorous Ability, although Grass-types are still resistant to Electric-type moves, Grass-type moves now do NO damage which shifts the advantage over to Zebraika.
    Last but not least we have
    Shibibiru who's claim to fame is that being a pure Electric-type and having the Ability Levitate it has no weaknesses, much like a Dark/Ghost-type combo. This honestly makes Shibibiru the overall winner, I mean you can't get any better then removing your weakness and then making it your immunity!
