Effect Summary

Changes the target's move's type to Type Icon for ElectricElectric if it hasn't moved yet this turn.

Detailed Effect

Electrify changes the target's move to Type Icon for ElectricElectric-type if it has not moved yet for the duration of that turn.
This also works against StatusDamage Category Icon for Status category moves.
Electrify bypasses accuracystat img and evasionstat img checks to always hit except when the target is in the semi-invulnerable turn of moves such as Dig or Fly.
Moves that have a charging turn will only be affected if Electrify is used on the damage dealing turn.
The move Flying Press will deal Type Icon for ElectricElectric and Type Icon for FlyingFlying-type damage.
The move Freeze-Dry does not double its effect against Type Icon for WaterWater-type Pokémon meaning that it is capped at a 2x super effective multiplier.
All damage dealing Max Moves are changed to Max Lightning.
