Electrode

Pokédex entries
| RedBlue | It stores electric energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation. |
|---|---|
| Yellow | Stores electrical energy in its body. Even the slightest shock could trigger a huge explosion. |
| Stadium | Stores enormous amounts of electricity within its body and explodes with the slightest provocation. Extremely dangerous. |
| GoldStadium 2 | It is dangerous. If it has too much electricity and has nothing to do, it amuses itself by exploding. |
| Silver | It stores an overflowing amount of electric energy inside its body. Even a small shock makes it explode. |
| Crystal | The more energy it charges up, the faster it gets. But this also makes it more likely to explode. |
