from the flotation devices are we to assume pikachu and pichu are afraid of drowning? for her though i would be more worried about their electric attacks going off by accident and shocking her feet and making her skeleton light up. electricity and water do not mix!

Actually, in some cases, Electric and Water do mix. Consider Chinchou, Lanturn, Rotom (Wash Rotom form), Eelektrik, Eelektross, and any other dual-type Electric and Water types they come up with in the eighth region. :-)

#2395235 Electricity follows the path of least resistance, it would probably earth out through metallic parts of the filter pump. You'd need a new pool filter, she'd be fine. (Same concept explains why lightning can strike the ocean without frying all the nearby fish.)

That's assuming a regular discharge, though. Pokemon can manually direct the flow of electricity and at that point physics is out to lunch and all bets are off.

Which, in turn, explains why Pokémon such as Lanturn and Eelektross can live in the sea and also not fry the entire ocean.

@Shotaboi97
Don't really want to knit pick, but thought I should correct something before someone else throws a hissy fit.
Eelektrik and Eelektross are pure electric types.

@2395245
AKCHUALLY
The Tynamo line (Tynamo, Eelektrik and Eelektross) are mono electric types
