There is at least an unfilled niche for a pure type non evolving, non legendary pokemon in some lines that don't have a representative. As far as I can remember, Ghost, dark (Since absol now mega evolves), fairy,steel,dragon,rock,ground,grass,and flying all lack a pokemon in that category. That's roughly half the types (if I'm remembering rightly).
But no, clearly another electric type with a very similar moveset is much better.

Well then, the dumb electric clones are as good a place as any to start fixing it.
God, we need a new picture to talk about quickly, weekends are terrible.
