Plusle? Lethal??

This has been bugging me since last night. On Colosseum, you receive a Plusle from Duking. In any case, mine (is a she) is pretty powerful for being Lv48. What's so good about that? I'm in Area 8 of Mount Battle and she's KOing Pokemon 4 lvls and above with little effort.

Plusle (female) Lv48 (she's not holding any items)
HP: 140
Attack: 70
Defense: 51
Sp. Attack: 108
Sp. Defense: 101
Speed: 135
Attacks: Spark, Thunder, Fake Tears, and Helping Hand.

I mean, she uses Spark which is a semi-good electrical attack, but not with a weak special attack at 108. She KOed a Bodybuilder's Skarmory with one Spark attack. She KOed a Relicanth with one hit of Thunder, no critical hit.

Is it me, or is my Plusle lethal?
 
When I had a Plusle the time I rented Colloseum[I actually own it now!], I trained my Plusle to Lv. 100, and it was a good addition to my team. Now, I have a Lv. 56 Plusle which I ported to Emerald, but it was good aswell. I just didn't feel like training it. It's not just you. ^_^
 
Both Skarmory and Relicanth have low Special Defense, which might be part of the reason.
 
Yeah, but she's several lvls below them in Mt. Battle ._. I don't get it how she's that powerful in-game...
 
I'm going with the low Sp.Def. theory. Levels don't really matter if you are comparing stats.
 
Well Relicanth has low Sp.Def. and thunder is super effective. Asuming Relicanth was Lvl. 52 and had no Evs and a neutral nature, Pulse would be able to OHKO it with thunder.
 
I used it for a little, but didn't like it. So I dumped it into the computer and kept using Flaffy (now Amparos).

I also chose ampharos, I did'nt even raise plusle!
 
How could an electric type attack KO a Relicanth?

Relicanth is a Water type AND a Rock type which electric types have no effect against.
 
No, rock is effected by electric. Its just thought that it isnt because in the rby days, there wernt any pure rock types, and it confused some people.
 
Electic doesn't effect ground types, but it does effect rock types. You might be confused because in the show they say that electric attacks don't effect rock pokemon.
 
I used Plusle on my first run through Colosseum. . . until I caught Vibrava, evolved it to Flygon, and started using it.
 
I used Plusle in my current Colo game, but it was level 35 when I got in the Lab so I swapped it out for more Attack based Shadows, namely Stantler, Sneasel, and Gligar.
I agree, for some reason, despite low stats, my plusle dominated.

You should check it to see if it's a rabid Plusle. ;)
 
Skarmory and Relicanth both have very low sp. defense, and less than great HP. A stabed spark or thunder would take them out with no problem, even on a plusle.

Lets try it on a blissey!no lets Try it on a togetic and lets c if u nock it out i
