# Electrode #5/101 — Hidden Legends

## Summary

Electrode earns its fans through the Voltorb gag of a Poké Ball that explodes, and a self-KO attack gives this Hidden Legends holo a reputation for being fun rather than strong. Umemoto's work is a pleasant bonus, but the pull is a Gen I Holo Rare from a set built around Kanto nostalgia. The modelled guide sits at $37, up 10% over 30 days on 11 copies traded, with 110 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
