Eelektrik excels as a stupendous Physical Sweeper during single battles. It's primary goal is to take down the opponent's team with devastating physical attacks. Life Orb boosts the power of Eelektrik's damaging moves by 1.3x but it then loses 1/10 its max HP immediately after the attack. The Shell Bell item option is to help Eelektrik recover from the recoil damage it may take from Wild Charge. The Levitate ability makes Eelektrik immune to damaging Ground-type moves. With Levitate and Eelektrik having an solely Electric typing, it loses all other possible type-based weaknesses. The only weakness Electric Pokemon have is Ground, which aslong as Eelektrik keeps it's Levitate ability intact should keep it from taking any super-effective damage. Levitate also makes Eelektrik unaffected by the effects of Spikes, Arena Trap or Toxic Spikes. Keep in mind that Ingrain, Gravity, Smack down and the Iron ball item will nullify Levitate's effect. Facade's damage doubles when the user has a status affliction.
