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.
Biology
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."
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. When full of stored electricity, it has been known to drift with the wind.

In Pokémon Generations
Multiple Electrode appeared in The Lake of Rage, being forcibly used to power Team Rocket's radio wave generator. They were eventually freed by Lance's Dragonite and escape the Team Rocket HQ, but not before gathering in front of Petrel and shocking him as revenge.
In the manga
In the Pokémon Adventures manga
Electrode makes a cameo aboard the S.S. Anne in Danger: High Voltorb as one of Lt. Surge's Pokémon ready to attack Red. Lt. Surge also possesses a cannon capable of firing Electrode at high speeds to attack, supplied by Team Rocket technology in Go for the Golbat. Since the disbandment of Team Rocket in The Legend, Lt. Surge is technically no longer a member, and it is unconfirmed if he still possesses the weaponry.
Ken of the Team Rocket Elite Trio used an Electrode along with its devolved form, Voltorb, to attack Yellow in The Coming of Slowpoke (Eventually).
A Team Rocket Grunt in Johto owns an Electrode in Sneasel Sneak Attack.
Eusine, as seen in Jumping Jumpluff, possesses an Electrode, which allows him to travel over large distances by riding it. It apparently uses electric charges to suspend itself in midair. It was temporarily given to Crystal to follow Suicune in Indubitably Ditto and Great Girafarig, where they reached the Tin Tower. It helped Crystal float during the battle against Suicune in SUddenly Suicune I to Suddenly Suiunce III; in the latter, it was seen over the debris near the Tin Tower, and was later retrieved back by its Trainer.
An Electrode appeared in The Last Battle XIII as one of the Pokémon sent to participate in the fight in Ilex Forest.
The author, Hidenori Kusaka, used an Electrode in Volume 4 (JP version) as self-portrait, continuing to do so ever since. Before that, he always depicted himself as a regular man.

An Electrode was selected as an enemy Pokémon for the Frontier Brains' demonstration battle in Swanky Showdown with Swalot, alongside Swalot, which represents illustrator Satoshi Yamamoto.
The Battle Tower rented an Electrode, which was stolen by Guile Hideout in The Final Battle VII.

In the TCG
- Main article: Electrode (TCG)
Other appearances
Super Smash Bros./Melee/Brawl/3DS and Wii U/Ultimate
In the original Smash Bros. Electrode would appear from the doorway atop the Silph Co. building on the Saffron City stage and use Explosion, damaging any players near it. In the sequels, it would be released randomly from a Poké Ball. When released, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using Explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Poké Ball. Electrode functions in Brawl in much the same way as in Melee; however, sometimes, it will fail to explode. Other times, Electrode will merely pretend to fail to explode, then explode suddenly after a few seconds. Electrode appears in fourth and fifth installments, retaining the same behavior from Brawl.
Melee trophy information
Electrode, an electric Ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.
Brawl trophy information
"A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity stored in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in are Selfdestruct and Explosion. Its love of electricity cause it to gather near power plants."
3DS/Wii U trophy information
NA: An Electric-type Pokémon that stores energy inside its body. Nicknamed "the Bomb Ball" by some, the slightest shock risks setting this Pokémon off. If you're feeling brave, you can throw Electrode at your foes before it detonates. Handle with care, or it'll go off in your hands instead!
PAL: This Electric-type Pokémon stores huge amounts of electricity in its body. It is also known as the Bomb Ball due to the fact that even the lightest touch can make it blow up. Sometimes it takes a little while for Electrode to use its Explosion attack, so you might have enough time to throw it in someone else's direction! Feeling brave?

Trivia
- In Red, Blue, FireRed, and LeafGreen, players can obtain an Electrode at a level as low as 3 by catching a Pikachu in Viridian Forest, evolving it, and trading it to an old man on Cinnabar Island.
- Electrode has a short song dedicated to it, sung by Suzukisan.
- Electrode has the highest base Speed stat of all Electric-type Pokémon.
- Electrode is the only non-playable Pokémon to use the same move in Pokkén Tournament and the Super Smash Bros. series.
Origin
It seems to be based upon the concept of a living Poké Ball, and is often mistaken for one. The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as Capsule Monsters, as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle.
The idea of them being mistaken for the standard Item Balls is similar to a mimic, a monster archetype commonly found in RPGs.
Based on its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to land mines. Like Voltorb, it may be based on ball lightning as well.
Name origin
Electrode may be a portmanteau of electric and explode or node (a computer or program), as well as a pun on electrode, a device through which electrical currents pass (although such a device is usually in the shape of a rod.)
Marumine may be a combination of 丸 maru (circle) and mine, as in landmine.
