'''Electrode''' ({{ja|マルマイン|Marumain}}, ''Marumine'') is a creature in the {{uv|Pokémon}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:101ElectrodeRB.png|thumb|left|Electrode's official artwork from ''Pokémon Red and Blue''.]]
{{iw|bulbapedia|Electrode|Pokémon}} is an Electric-type [[List of Pokémon|Pokémon]] introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}, and is categorized within the Pokédex at #101 as the "Ball Pokémon". It evolves from {{iw|bulbapedia|Voltorb|Pokémon}} starting at level 30, and, like it, it sometimes disguises itself as a Poké Ball and attacks unwary trainers which try to pick it up. Electrode received an Electric/Grass type Hisuian form in Generation VIII.

{{iw|bulbapedia|Explosion|move}} is a Normal-type move introduced in {{iw|bulbapedia|Generation I}}. With 250 base power it is in normal conditions the most powerful attack in the series, but has the severe drawback of making its user faint. Electrode can learn it in every game.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:Electrode (SSB).png|thumb|left|100px|Electrode in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
Electrode made its debut to the ''Smash'' series in ''Super Smash Bros.'', appearing as one of five Pokémon hazards on the stage [[Saffron City]]. The Electrode in Saffron City will pop out from the door on the side of the building when a character approaches. Electrode then will use Explosion as its attack after a few seconds of its appearance. Any character that is caught in the blast radius of Electrode will take 30% [[damage]] and massive [[knockback]] (KOing around 45%).
{{clrl}}

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Electrode Pokeball SSBM.png|thumb|Electrode in ''Melee''.]]
Electrode returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', this time as a [[Poké Ball]] summon, using Explosion once again. When Electrode comes out of the Poké Ball, it remains still, but will start to get darker over a period of a few seconds: this serves as a warning that Electrode is about to explode. When Electrode explodes, everyone in the blast radius (including the character who summoned Electrode) will take heavy damage that is almost equal to a [[Bob-omb]], and can [[KO]] characters even at low percentages (around 30% on {{SSBM|Mario}}). When Electrode is about to explode and starts to spark it can be picked up and thrown. The character holding Electrode must be fast when disposing it, as their throwing animation has more startup lag, making characters with larger throw delays (such as {{SSBM|Marth}} and {{SSBM|Bowser}}) have a smaller window of safety. Electrode also appears in the [[event match]] [[Event 3: Bomb-fest|Bomb-fest]] as the only Poké Ball Pokémon.

===Trophy===
Electrode features as a collectible trophy, unlocked as one of the trophies that can be collected randomly throughout the various Single-player Regular Matches.

;Electrode
:''Electrode, an electric ball Pokémon, is the evolved form of Voltorb. It has the tendency to explode with even the slightest provocation, which has earned it the nickname "Wrecking Ball." Electrode is the quickest Pokémon found to date, and its distinct white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:Electrode_ssbb.jpg|thumb|left|Electrode in ''Brawl''.]]
[[File:Failed Electrode.jpg|thumb|A failed Electrode explosion.]]
Electrode keeps its ''Melee'' function. However, this time there is a chance that it will fail to explode, only to resume its detonation a couple seconds later. It can be picked up in its defused state just like it can right before exploding, giving the holder a longer time to throw it. When a thrown Electrode collides with the ground or another player it explodes, and when smash thrown it can [[One-hit KO|OHKO]] nearly any character but the super-heavyweights (Bowser, Donkey Kong, Snake, and King Dedede). Occasionally it just appears to fail, only to explode a few seconds later.

===Trophy===
[[File:Electrode - Brawl Trophy.png|100px|thumb|left|The Electrode trophy in ''Brawl'']]
;Electrode
:''A Ball Pokémon. The more electricity it stores in its body, the quicker it moves. One danger of storing that much electricity is that the slightest stimulus may cause it to explode. Moves it specializes in include Selfdestruct and Explosion. Its love of electricity often causes it to gather in groups near power plants.''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:ElectrodeWiiU.jpg|thumb|Electrode in {{forwiiu}}.]]
Electrode returns in ''Super Smash Bros. 4'', reprising its role from ''Brawl'' and functioning in almost the exact same way. It is also the only Poké Ball Pokémon who is able to [[OHKO]] (when smash thrown).
{{clear}}

===Trophy===
Electrode's trophy can be randomly obtained in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Pokémon'' [[Trophy Box]].

;Electrode
:{{Flag|North America}} ''An Electric-type Pokémon that stores energy inside its body. Nicknamed "the Bomb Ball" by some, the slightest shock risks setting this Pokémon off. If you're feeling brave, you can throw Electrode at your foes before it detonates. Handle with care, or it'll go off in your hands instead!''
:{{Flag|Europe}} ''This Electric-type Pokémon stores huge amounts of electricity in its body. It is also known as the Bomb Ball due to the fact that even the lightest touch can make it blow up. Sometimes it takes a little while for Electrode to use its Explosion attack, so you might have enough time to throw it in someone else's direction! Feeling brave?''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a Poké Ball Pokémon===
[[File:ElectrodeSSBU.png|thumb|Electrode as it appears in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.]]
Electrode returns as a Poké Ball summon, with the same mechanic of the previous game, but with one significant change. The explosion now ignores weight, making the victims' falling speed the main determining factor in their survivability. It is still the only [[Poké Ball]] Pokémon able to [[OHKO]] (when smash thrown).

Unlike previous installments, Electrode now sports an angry expression instead of smiling.

Electrode cannot be summoned on [[Distant Planet]].

===As a stage element===
Electrode reprises its role as a stage hazard on the returning [[Saffron City]] stage. While it uses a 3D model for its Poké Ball role, the Electrode on Saffron City uses a 2D sprite as in the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''

==Trivia==
*Electrode is one of three Pokémon to be both a Poké Ball summon and a stage element in the same installment, as it is present as both in ''Ultimate''. [[Chansey]] was the first with this distinction, appearing in ''Smash 64'', while [[Palkia]] also returns as both in ''Ultimate''.
*Electrode, [[Meowth]], and [[Porygon2]] are the only non-Legendary or Mythical Poké Ball Pokémon to have no spoken voice lines.<!--Do not add any possible reason for why these Pokémon do not have any voice clips. SmashWiki is not speculation. Additionally, do not add the fact that Porygon2 uses its cry from the Pokémon games in Melee, which is completely false-->
