Electruxo is also faster. but I did never get as far as to consider duns being able to KO Elec with a ground move.
I'm a bit pesimistic to duns working but thx 4 the idea, I didn't think about it myself! 
Opps. I knew I was forgetting something there.... still, it is an option to use to try and phase weather out, if you pair it with a Focus Sash (assuming no pesky Stealth Rock are out...).
Yeah, I guessed. but the sash one could work!
Good idea twistedLogic!

Can't exactly brainstorm now, but M Eletruxo is also killed by..... M Archilles.
"WHAAAAAT??" You must be wondering if I'm joking, but I'm not XD
M Archilles outspeeds M Eletruxo and OHKOs with its Earthpower. I need calcs for Physical, unboosted Archilles' EQ against M Eletruxo, but it is close to OHKO it too. Either way, do remember that Archilles and Mega Archilles can run a mixed/Physical set as it has access to Swords Dance and Dragon Dance, of which the later is much more effective at running a Mixed set.
Anyways, you can throw in Archilles against an opposing M Eletruxo, Mega evolve it if that's your Mega and take away its rain, and just Earthpower/Earthquake it the same turn. Don't fret; Aqua Jet, even with rain, will not kill your Mega Archilles at Full HP.
It's a different story if Archilles is non-mega and gets a hit from Aqua jet though XD

chance.  But.  I got a bit worried how I'd get archilles swapped in. It is immune to electric... So that gives it an opening.
I think archilles is definetly a good choice, but it needs the right situation or else it'll be worth as much as Sunkern...
Though Archilles might really be number two after Metalynx, and, at worst u'll need to sacrifice a pokemon or undergo some risky
predictions.
Of course, there's nothing saying that Elec can't swap out, but lets not meake this any harder than it needs to
Thanks for reminding me! Archilles-M is definetly a good choice!

What about a guide for Electruxo itself?

That's done, isn't it?
if it isn't then it really should!
But if u want Electruxo-M in a nutshell (if that means what I think it does) then the moves are like this:
Abuse STAB thunder with 100% acc.
Abuse STAB scald with rain boost even more.
Add ice beam for amazing coverage.
An last, your choice. Can be hydro pump, T-wave and whatever you fancy.
The Evs also depend on Elecs position in the team. Trusty tank or super annoying/usefull (depends for whom) 2-hit-everything-including-my-self-canon  
Did that help?
Anyways, thanks for your replie!

Hey, thanks for the thought. I'm already utilizing those movesets you mentioned above. But still, Electruxo is being neglected in this competitive forum don't you think? There's a guide for Metalynx and Archilles but Electruxo gets passed by...

Np!
What move did you put in the fourth slot? (just curious...)
Yeah, Electruxo isn't getting a whole lot of attention
even though it's a fantastic pokemon that is easy to use.

Yeah, Electruxo isn't getting a whole lot of attention (kinda ironic since we're on a thread about Elec)
even though it's a fantastic pokemon that is easy yo use.
Oh, yeah... that's right. for those who didn't understand the 2-hit-encluding-my-self-canon, it means that it 2HKOs (if not 1HKOs) most things and is rarely 1HKOd
(meaning that at best it's usualy 2HKOd).
Someone already has a M Eletruxo guide in tow. so just sit still and be patient. just keep up with the progress markers on the competitive pinned thread by @ poweroftibarn
anyways, I usually run Magnet Rise or Aqua Jet on the 4th slot.

Surf. It is the strongest, most reliable STAB move I could find among Electruxo's movepool. Unless Rain Dance boosts Water moves accuracy as well, Hydro Pump is too chancy for me.

Hydro Pump is used a lot so I was slightly expecting that... But I myself prefer the better acc. over the higher pwr.
So, yeah. Hydro P. is not boosted by rain.
