Electrode

Electrode on cards: 46 printings since Base Set

Electrode's first card is Base Set #21 (1999), a non-holo rare illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi. Jungle printed a second Electrode that same year, drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita, as holo #2 and non-holo #18 with the same artwork, and Aquapolis added a holo in 2003. The EX era gave it Electrode ex in FireRed & LeafGreen (2004), its only ex card, and Triumphant (2010) printed an Electrode Pokémon Prime, the HeartGold & SoulSilver era's holofoil-bordered variant.

Celestial Storm (2018) introduced Electrode-GX, with a rainbow Secret Rare version, and Hidden Fates' Shiny Vault printed a shiny Electrode-GX in 2019. Paldean Fates (2024) added a Shiny rare Electrode, and Journey Together (2025) printed Iono's Electrode, linking it to Iono, the streamer who leads the Levincia Gym as an Electric-type specialist in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

5ban Graphics holds the most Electrode credits in our catalog (6), followed by Ken Sugimori (4).

Why collectors track Electrode

Electrode's catalog is broad rather than deep: 46 printings spread over 40 sets, with Uncommons and Rares making up 33 of them. Its special printings are few and easy to list, the FireRed & LeafGreen ex, the Triumphant Prime, the Electrode-GX cards and two Shiny rares, and Iono's Electrode ties it to a current Gym Leader.
