Absorb Bulb and Cell Battery.

Absorb Bulb: Raises Sp. Attack if hit by water move

Cell Battery: Raises Attack if hit by electric move

Both don't give immunity to that type, just a boost if it takes the hit. 

10 bucks to anyone who can use these both successfully in Uber

I could see these being used with a switchin to a Pokemon with Volt Absorb or Water Absorb;  considering the types, perhaps that's what they're meant for..?  I mean if you have, like,  a Gyarados out there, it baits a Thunderbolt pretty well to switch in to a Volt Absorb Lanturn.  But that's how I would use it in theory,  anyway;  I'm not sure if anyone actually does that.
