'''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''.]]

{{pkmn|Electrode}} 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 {{pkmn|Voltorb}} 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.

==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%).

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 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.

|desc=(1.0/1.01 NTSC) 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 distinctive white-over-red coloring is the opposite of Voltorb's.

[[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.

 

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==

Electrode's trophy can be randomly obtained in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Pokémon'' {{h1|Trophy Box|Pokémon}}.

|desc-pal=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?

[[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).
