        It's also probably because of Donphans tire motif

    It's ground type because it's immune to electric, resists rock, etc. No need for every pokemon to get their own headcanon.

    Ground conducts electricity. Why are amerimutts so dumb? If ground didn't, lightning rods wouldn't work.

          Everything is conductive. Do you understand how normal people talk?

            yes normal people say it is conductive if the resistance is finite.

              Wrong. No one would say wood and plastic are conductors even though electricity can flow through both. Fricking ESLs.

      and metals conduct electricity,
      and heat evaporates water,
      and steel drills into the earth and can smash rocks,
      and water rusts metals,
      and fire kills living things,
      and ghosts would be intangible and therefore all physical attacks should phase through,
      ...

      the lightning rod conducts the current to the ground where the current immediately dies
