Electric Terrain (エレキフィールド Elec Field) is a non-damaging Electric-type move introduced in Pokémon X and Y. It creates the Electric Terrain field condition, which increases the power Electric-type moves and prevents Pokémon from falling asleep. It is TM90 in Pokémon Sword and Shield and TM136 in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.
Effect[]
Electric Terrain will envelope the field in electricity for 5 turns, replacing any existing terrain condition. In the early titles, the background environment is replaced with electricity but current games just have electricity flowing across the ground. Any Pokémon not on the ground and in a semi-invulnerable part of a move will be unaffected by the terrain.
Terrain will boosts the power of Electric moves by affected users by 30% (50% in Generation VI and VII). This includes Pokémon under the effect of type-changing moves like Electrify. Pokémon affected by the terrain cannot be afflicted by sleep or the effects of Yawn, including the use of Rest. If the terrain activates while an affected Pokémon is drowsy, the Pokémon will prevent from falling asleep and the drowsy effect ends
If powered up by an Electrium Z into Z-Electric Terrain, the user's Speed stat is raised by one stage.
Electric Terrain, like other terrains, will be removed by Defog, Steel Roller, Ice Spinner, the Z-Move Splintered Stormshards and G-Max Wind Rage
