Electrode (Japanese: マルマイン Marumine, German: Lektrobal, French: Electrode) is an Electric-type Pokémon.

Pokédex entries

Pokémon Gold
It is dangerous. If it has too much electricity and has nothing to do, it amuses itself by exploding.
Pokémon Ruby
Electrode eats electricity in the atmosphere. On days when lightning strikes, you can see this Pokémon exploding all over the place from eating too much electricity.
Pokémon Emerald
They appear in great numbers at electric power plants. Because they feed on electricity, they cause massive and chaotic blackouts in nearby cities.
Pokémon FireRed
It explodes in response to even minor stimuli. It is feared, with the nickname of "The Bomb Ball."
Pokémon LeafGreen
It stores electric energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation.

Name origin

An electrode is a device through which electrical current passes. Considering Electrode's tendency to self-destruct, it might also be a combination of electric and explode. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of 丸 maru, circle, and mine, as in landmine.

It seems to be based upon the concept of a living Poké Ball, and is often mistaken for one.
