Electrode, one of the fastest non legendary Pokemon, learns Gyro Ball a move that bases its damage on how much slower you are to your target. Yeah from a thematic sense in makes sense because Electrode is, you know, a ball. But from a logical sense its illogical at best.

You're neglecting the fact that it also inflicts the Ligma status effect.

I'm not falling for that one. I've seen enough Youtube to know that trick.

Hey, works with Miracle Eye. Which you don't get. But I'm sure somewhere out there's someone with a great plan to have one Pokemon use Miracle Eye so you can use Synchronoise as the ultimate answer to Drapion and Skuntank. Well, your special attack sucks so it won't really do all that much. But hey, it theoretically can do something if you go out of your way to dedicate multiple Pokemon to making it happen.

Trick room just flips priority, Electrode would still calculate damage with its 150 speed stat.

Gyro Ball's damage is affected by the speed stat. Trick Room doesn't actually change the speed stat, it just changes what it does.

Hey, sometimes you just want to send a message. If someone goes through that much trouble just to get a Dark type to meme with a move that does nothing in 99% of scenarios (Does it work if you get hit with type changing moves like Soak?), I respect that dedication to the meme.

Good to know though, forgot about Miracle Eye being a thing.

It's because it's a ball, not because it's useful.

Trick Room is a field effect. If it worked like Power Trick (technically a type of buff) it wouldn't be able to affect pokemon that swap in and wouldn't be so great in doubles.
