Electric coverage clears part of the team, but Skarmory and Altaria stop lazy sweeps. Save Rock, Ice, or your best neutral pressure for Altaria.
Manectric handles Swellow and Pelipper, but Skarmory’s Steel typing and Altaria’s Dragon/Flying typing keep the fight from being a pure Electric sweep. Rock coverage is useful into most of the team, and strong neutral hits are fine if you avoid bad defensive matchups.
Altaria is the ace and the main risk. It is bulkier than it looks and can punish teams that arrive with only Grass or Fighting attackers. If you have Ice coverage, save it. If not, use Rock Tomb, status, or your strongest neutral attacker while keeping enough HP to survive a critical hit.
