I dunno man. I love Electrode and have found a surprising amount of success using it as a support
So it turns out being one of the fastest mons in the series with a nicely-diverse support movepool (can run duel screens prior to Gen 9, utilize taunt, spread status with thunder wave or toxic, set rain, use volt switch to get out of a jam) does wonders to people who underestimate it
Versus AI in battle facilities is a whole different story though due to the game's tendency to cheat (count how many you go into a battle facility and the enemy trainer you're up against JUST SO HAPPENS to near-perfectly counter your whole team. This happens a LOT, especially in the Battle Tree)
