Hidden Poké-Power
The long strip contains data for an additional Poké-Power this card can use:
You can use this power once during your turn (

Electrode to any number of your Benched Pokémon. This power can't be used when
Electrode is affected by a
Special Condition.
Selecting "Yes" reveals the number of Energy cards.
