Foregoing Ice Beam/Toxic, HP Electric seems pretty effective with Cloyster to me.
Mostly for other Cloysters. It has a chance to 2HKO Cloyster (does like 48-56%, meaning they're a bit more likely to survive 2 hits with leftovers). Basically any spin/rest cloy can't afford to fight this thing, guaranteeing that your spikes will stay out. Pretty awesome.
Spin Starmie obviously is still the problem but at least you can hit starmie for some damage. 32-37%, not too great. It is kind of minor damage, though, to the point where the starmie might flirt with not recovering it off and opting to psychic (an incoming electric), which could then be a big problem later against something like Machamp.
It's worth noting that you lose some hp and attack from using hidden electric, Cloy only has 287 HP (-16 HP) and 286 attack (-2 attack, not a big deal).
Is it worth it?
