Its Ability

BuzzapBuzzap

At any time during your turn (before your attack) you may Knock Out Electrode and attach it to 1 of your other Pokémon. If you do, chose a type of Energy. Electrode is now an Energy card (instead of a Pokémon) that provides 2 energy of that type. This power can't be used if Electrode is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.N'importe quand durant votre tour (avant votre attaque), vous pouvez mettre Électrode K.O. et l'attacher à 1 de vos autres Pokémon. Si vous le faites, choisissez un type d'Énergie. Électrode est maintenant une carte Énergie (au lieu d'un Pokémon) qui fournit 2 Énergies de ce type. Ce pouvoir ne peut être utilisé si Électrode est Endormi, Confus ou Paralysé.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    Electric Shock hits for 50 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Base Set hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

    It has an Ability, Buzzap. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  4. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,427 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,427 tournament lists we have read, 1,216 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.

The other cards of this Pokémon

Two cards of the same Pokémon can be worth wildly different amounts — it depends on the set, the rarity and the artwork. We put all 46 Electrode cards on one page, priciest first.
