Electrode is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of zero. It possesses a unique Poké-Power called Energy Shift, which allows it to avoid being discarded when knocked out by an attack. Instead, Electrode attaches as a Special Energy card to one of the player’s Pokémon, providing any Energy type but only one at a time. Its primary attack, Ion Blast, costs one Lightning and one Colorless Energy, dealing 40 damage plus an additional 60 if the player chooses, while also inflicting 100 damage to itself. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks by 20. Its flavor text describes it as drifting on winds when bloated with stored electricity, hinting at its energy-based nature.
