POKEMON OF THE DAY 26; ELECTRODE! ELECTRODE (JAPANESE: マルマイン MARUMINE) IS AN ELECTRIC-TYPE POKÉMON INTRODUCED IN GENERATION I.
IT EVOLVES FROM VOLTORB STARTING AT LEVEL 30. THE BALL POKEMON; ELECTRODE IS A ROUND POKÉMON RESEMBLING A REVERSE-COLORED POKÉ BALL WITH A MOUTH AND EYES. ITS TOP HALF IS WHITE, WHILE ITS LOWER HALF IS RED. FOR THIS REASON, MANY TRAINERS TRY TO PICK IT UP, MISTAKING IT FOR AN ITEM. THE POCKET MONSTERS CARDDASS TRADING CARDS DEPICT ELECTRODE AS HOLLOW. MANY KNOW IT BY THE NICKNAME "BOMB BALL", DUE TO ITS UNPREDICTABLE AND EXPLOSIVE NATURE.
ELECTRODE TENDS TO LIVE IN POWER PLANTS WHERE FRESH ELECTRICITY IS BEING GENERATED, WHICH IT CONSUMES. AS A RESULT, IT OFTEN CAUSES BLACKOUTS. THE MORE ELECTRIC ENERGY ELECTRODE CONSUMES, THE FASTER IT MOVES. ELECTRODE EXPLODES IN RESPONSE TO EVEN THE SMALLEST STIMULATION, SIMPLY TO ENTERTAIN ITSELF, OR BECAUSE IT HAS TAKEN IN TOO MUCH ELECTRICITY. BUT UNLIKE VOLTORB, ELECTRODE CAN CONTROL ITS EXPLOSIVE ABILITY AT WILL. WHEN FULL OF STORED ELECTRICITY, IT HAS BEEN KNOWN TO DRIFT WITH THE WIND. ABILITIES
