Electivire is a solid offensive partner for Combusken. Scarf Electivire can reliably outspeed and OHKO Floatzel and Swanna with STAB Thunderbolt. Floatzel in particular can be lethal to a sufficiently chipped Combusken because of Aqua Jet, so the removal of it aids Combusken greatly. Combusken can muscle through Gourgeist, one of Electivire's best checks, and wallbreak mid-game so Electivire has the opportunity to clean up late game. This core tends to lend itself well to offensive teams, as they usually desire the momentum and power this core provides.
