Overall... this is not good. Giving Magmortar Thunderbolt and Electivire Flamethrower is obviously an attempt at contrasting parity and a way to give them both better coverage for PvP, but it's doubtful that this will be enough to make them much better than they are now. And as for PvE: they're both best used for their own innate types, though Magmortar falls short in that area. In truth, it's a shame that it wasn't the one to learn Flamethrower.
