Electivire struggles due to low lacking speed and mediocre defenses. Lucky for it, it was given Motor Drive, an awesome way to boosts its speed up to 147 base if it becomes activated; plus, it was given the cell battery, which gives it a boosted attack if it gets hit by an electric attack. Thus, Electivire gets a free Dragon Dance if you switch in right.
Unfortunately, switching in to electric attacks becomes very predictable. And if Electivire doesn't get that boost, it's not going to be able to do much. It ended up with good attack, a great physical movepool, but subpar speed, which it struggles to overcome.

Simple sweeper strategy here. Hopefully you manage to switch in to an Electric attack and activate Motor Drive. If you really feel confident, use the Cell Battery; it's got an even bigger boosts than Life Orb and it doesn't lop off your HP, which you're really gonna feel with Wild Charge. Wild Charge was Gamefreak's gift to Electivire; a reliable, powerful, physical Electric STAB move. After a few hits and Life Orb recoil, it's going to start throbbing, though. Ice Punch shatters Ground, Grass, and especially Dragon types, the only ones that resist Electric. Earthquake is Earthquake; all the power and the coverage. The last one is a toss-up between Fighting-type moves: Cross Chop deal a lot more power with even a boost in crit, but Brick Break is a lot more accurate. The EVs, Nature, and item are all staple for sweepers, except Cell Battery which is, in many cases, inferior to the Life Orb.

Electivire can be used to rip one of the most overpowered legendaries to shreds. Give Electivire vital spirit and send it out against a darkrai while holding a choice scarf. This way you use a fighting move before the opponent can attack and hit darkrai hard while not having to worry about sleep. Cross chop, if it hits, can smack a darkrai into submission when electivire goes first. Primeape and Electivire are prime choices against darkrai for vital spirit and cross chop. Electivire is better because there could be that one time where the opponent has a psychic move. Next time you battle a darkrai, get a hidden ability Electivire with cross chop and a choice scarf. They will not know what hit em.
