#101 Electrode
“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.
In Hisui, Electrode has an Electric/Grass regional form. It evolves from Hisuian Voltorb when exposed to a Leaf Stone.
Electrode is a round Pokémon resembling an upside-down Poké Ball with a mouth and eyes. Its top half is white, while its lower half is red. The Pocket Monsters Carddass Trading Cards depict Electrode as hollow.
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. When full of stored electricity, it has been known to drift with the wind.
Electrode explodes in response to even the smallest stimulation, simply to entertain itself, or because it has taken in too much electricity. However, unlike Voltorb, Electrode can control its explosive ability at will. This unpredictable and explosive nature has earned it the nickname of “Bomb Ball”. Because of its appearance, many Trainers try to pick Electrode up, mistaking it for an item.“-Bulbapedia.
