Well i've studied shockers long enough to know, yes they should be fried. but here is what i got.

- They use the odd sort of "Rods" on their back to contain the electricity, away from their body.

- Their tails will ignite the electricity when they feel threatened (When its pulsing around on their rods)

- The lightning will then jump off of them to the attacker or prey, acting as a defensive/hunting mechanism.
