    Lightning Rod: Redirects Electric-type attacks to the Pokémon with this ability and raises Sp. Attack by one stage if the Pokémon is otherwise not immune to the attack. Redirection acts as a Follow Me for Electric attacks only, but if the moves Follow Me or Rage Powder are used, Electric attacks will be taken by the user of that move.​
    Pokémon with this move (note that Zapdos was only gen 5, and Plusle is only gen 6): ​

    The use of this ability usually limited to reducing an electric weakness that a team may have, even if that weakness is only Volt Switch. What other ways can this be used? What other Pokémon would you like to see with this ability?​
    Let us know below!​

    Zapdos got robbed. Mega Sceptile doesn't really need it because of its quad resistance to Electric attacks already. Rhyperior and Marowak is WUT (unless in Double Battles, I guess). Seaking benefits from it the most. If it ever got a Mega Evolution and retained its Lightning Rod ability, it would be a monster.
