# Electrode #27/106 — Emerald

## Summary

Electrode is a Gen I Lightning Pokémon with a small but devoted following, loved for the Poké Ball gag that never gets old. This Emerald-era printing is an uncommon, a mid-tier pull in a set collectors treat as a quiet curiosity rather than a hunt. The modelled guide sits at $1.55, up 3% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 80 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $9.50, 6.1 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
