Electrode (Japanese: マルマイン Marumine) is an Electric-type Pokémon.
Pokédex entries
- Pokémon Red and Blue / Pokémon LeafGreen
- It stores electric energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation.
- Pokémon Yellow
- Stores electrical energy inside its body. Even the slightest shock could trigger a huge explosion.
- Pokémon Gold
- It is dangerous. If it has too much electricity and has nothing to do, it amuses itself by exploding.
- Pokémon Silver
- It stores an overflowing amount of electric energy inside its body. Even a small shock makes it explode.
- Pokémon Crystal
- The more energy it charges up, the faster it gets. But this also makes it more likely to explode.
- 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 Sapphire
- One of Electrode's characteristics is its attraction to electricity. It is a problematical Pokémon that congregates mostly at electrical power plants to feed on electricity that has just been generated.
- 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."
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.
