Electrode

Electrode is an Electric-type Pokémon first introduced in Pokémon Red and Green Versions (Pokemon Red and Blue Versions in other regions of the world). It is the evolved form of Voltorb, evolving at level 36, and resembles a vertically flipped Poké Ball in appearance. It appears as a recurring Pokémon throughout the Super Smash Bros. series.

In Super Smash Bros., Electrode appears as one of the Pokémon that can appear on Saffron City. It attacks by using Explosion to deal heavy damage to any players in its vicinity.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee onwards, Electode can be summoned from a Poké Ball. It keeps its effect from the original Super Smash Bros., using Explosion to damage any fighters in its blast radius, including the player that summons it. Electrode can also be picked up and thrown like an item before exploding. Starting with Super Smash Bros. Brawl, it may occasionally be a dud, failing to explode after having charged up for a few seconds, but exploding immediately after.
