Electric Seed is a one-use held item in the Pokémon series that activates when the battlefield's terrain becomes Electric Terrain. When Electric Terrain is active, the Electric Seed boosts the holder's Defense stat by one stage. This increase in Defense can significantly enhance a Pokémon's ability to withstand physical attacks, making it a strategic option for certain teams.
Electric Terrain is typically set up by abilities like Electric Surge, possessed by Pokémon such as Tapu Koko, or by the move Electric Terrain itself. The combination of Electric Terrain and Electric Seed can be particularly potent, offering both the benefits of enhanced Defense and the additional perks provided by Electric Terrain, such as preventing sleep status and boosting the power of Electric-type moves.
Electric Seed saw an increase in popularity with the introduction of Terrain mechanics in Pokémon Sun and Moon, where terrains became a more integral part of battles. It is often used in formats like VGC (Video Game Championships) where terrain control can be a decisive factor.
