Pachirisu is an Electric Pokémon. It is vulnerable to Ground moves. Pachirisu's strongest moveset is Volt Switch & Thunderbolt and it has a Max CP of 1,213.
"A pair may be seen rubbing their cheek pouches together in an effort to share stored electricity."
Volt Switch and Spark both sport identical energy generation, but the former is preferred for its superior damage output. Thunder (100 power, 60 energy) only costs 5 more energy than Thunderbolt (90 power, 55 energy) and hits hard enough to make it worth running, especially when you have Thunder Punch (55 power, 40 energy) available for shield baiting.
Pachirisu’s max CP of 1213 isn’t fantastic. While that wouldn’t immediately disqualify it (see Sableye and Medicham), its mediocre moveset does. Having no non-Electric-type attacks available in its moveset prevents it from having the good general matchups it needs to perform well. If you’re going to max any Pokémon for Great League, maybe don’t choose Pachirisu.
