Electivire can use attacks that its pre-evolutions can use, except that Electivire's attacks will be more powerful.

Electrical attacks are unable to do any damage to Electivire, but they will instead stimulate its muscles so it can move faster.

Habitat
Electivire are scarce in the wild, but there is a slim chance of finding them in power plants.[citation needed]
Electivire usually feed off of electric currents. In the last episode of the Battle Frontier Saga, when Team Rocket first see Gary's Electivire, it was eating fruit that it got off of the trees.
Despite being used to advertise Sinnoh to Ash by Gary in the anime, Electivire isn't obtainable in Sinnoh until after having beaten the Elite Four, and even then only by twice evolving a Pokémon caught via the dongle method.
Elekibull is believed to be combination of エレキテル electricity and ブル bull.Electivire is based off of the word "electricity" and "wire", as in the two cord-like tails it has. Its name could have also been based off of "virus", referring to computer viruses, or vampire, because its ability "feeds" off of electric attacks.
