The problem is that electrode was so useless that those things wouldn't make a difference. Soundproof is mostly gimmicky (Mr. Mime was hyped more because it also had baton pass, not because of the ability itself) and a lot of pokemon have static, so it is nothing to get excited about. The information about ambipom being UU in gen 7 for a time was indeed sadly missed, but I can't say the same for electrode.

    Another great example of an early-gen pokemon that outside of it's notoriety from media has *_absolutely nothing going for it and was almost like created to be bad and weak and unappealing in every possible way_* - what Arbok lacks fundamentally is better stats, the snake pokemon could definitely get huge use out of an additional *_Obstagoon-style evolution_* , this way it could both get viability with higher stats from an evolved form and/or get use out of Eviolite as a mid-stage NFE and become more bulky
