If you love powerful Electric-type Pokémon with a rugged appearance and serious attack power, then Electivire is definitely one to know. In this blog post, I'll tell you all about who Electivire is, what it does, how it evolves, and why it's so beloved by fans and collectors.


The story of Electivire

As you know, Electivire is the final stage of an evolutionary line that begins with Elekid, via Electabuzz. This evolution didn't arrive until Generation IV, which made him instantly popular at the time. Electivire exudes pure power: broad shoulders, two electric tail cables, and a look that you'd rather not challenge. He's built for brutal attacks.

According to the Pokédex, Electivire can generate electricity of over 20,000 volts. It's often described as a living powerhouse. In the anime, it's often seen as a loyal yet fierce fighter, often in the hands of powerful trainers like Paul (Shinji) in the Sinnoh region.

What I personally love about Electivire is that it's not just an electric Pokémon; it feels like an evolution that truly adds something. Not only more powerful, but also more menacing and tougher than its predecessors.


Evolutionary Line and How to Get It

Electivire comes from a strong line:

  • Elekid – First form, Baby Pokémon from Gen II.
  • Electabuzz – Evolves from level 30.
  • Electivire – Created when you trade Electabuzz while he is holding an Electirizer.

This method makes it a bit more exclusive, which gives it extra value in games and as a card.

In some spin-off games like Pokémon GO, you have to evolve Electabuzz with a special item (Electirizer) and enough candy. Electivire is one of the strongest Electric attackers in those games.


The most popular and expensive Electivire cards

There are also a number of Electivire cards in the TCG that stand out:

⚡ Electivire FB LV.X (Supreme Victors, 2009)
Value PSA 10: €200 - €347

💥 Electivire EX (EX Power Keepers, 2007)

🌀 Electivire (Diamond & Pearl Base Set, Holo)

These cards are loved not only for their strong attacks, but also for their rugged design that perfectly suits Electivire.


Why Electivire is still loved

Electivire is proof that an evolution can truly add value. It's strong, has character, and is a valuable addition to both the game and the card game. What I like most is that it has a clear identity. Not a standard Electric type, but one with power, history , and a strong appearance.

So whether you're looking for a reliable Electric-type for your team or a cool card for your collection, Electivire won't disappoint.
