OVERVIEW]
Despite decent offensive stats, Blitzle is outclassed by other Electric-types, namely Elekid, which is faster, has a higher Special Attack stat, and has a more diverse movepool. Blitzle is able to check Snivy, which is the only reason to use it over other Electric-types. Even still, Blitzle is not able to reliably check Snivy due due to its relative frailty and lack of recovery, meaning it is easily chipped down by entry hazards and Snivy's coverage moves such as Hidden Power Ground. Additionally, Blitzle is extremely frail and not particularly strong, leaving it easily revenge killed.

[SET COMMENTS]
This sets attempts to act as an offensive check to Snivy thanks to Sap Sipper, though Blitzle isn't worth using over other Electric-types such as Elekid, which outclasses Snivy otherwise thanks to its better offensive stats and coverage options. Blitzle is also outclassed by other Snivy checks such as Pawniard and Ponyta, which perform more consistently.
