Electrode boasts a unique Pokémon Power called "Buzzap", allowing you to knock out Electrode during your turn and attach it to another of your Pokémon as an Energy card that provides two Energy of any single type. This game-changing ability offers powerful energy acceleration, giving you a significant tempo advantage—especially in formats where efficient energy attachment is crucial. Backed by 80 HP and a solid retreat cost of just one Colorless Energy, Electrode is both agile and impactful. Its Electric Shock attack deals 50 damage (with a coin flip risk of self-damage), making it a viable offensive option when needed. The card’s dynamic gameplay mechanics made it a favorite in early competitive play and continue to earn it praise among vintage format enthusiasts.

Beyond its in-game utility, the Electrode #21/102 Unlimited card is a collectible treasure. While not as rare as the 1st Edition or Shadowless prints, the Unlimited version remains highly sought after for its accessibility and playability. Whether you're a player looking to power up your Unlimited format deck or a collector preserving a piece of Pokémon TCG history, this card delivers lasting appeal. Its artist, Keiji Kinebuchi, captured the volatile essence of Electrode perfectly, reinforcing its status as a classic.
