Strategy & play
How Electrode plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Hits for 120 — one-shots small Basics and support Pokémon, but trades down into the format’s big attackers.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- A Stage 1 — one step up from Voltorb; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.
How to beat Electrode
- Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
- Gust it before the evolution is set up.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Electrode is real?
Electrode is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
