Pokédex entries

Electrode

Red
Blue
It stores electric energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation.
Yellow Stores electrical energy inside its body. Even the slightest shock could trigger a huge explosion.
Gold It is dangerous. If it has too much electricity and has nothing to do, it amuses itself by exploding.
Silver It stores an overflowing amount of electric energy inside its body. Even a small shock makes it explode.
Crystal The more energy it charges up, the faster it gets. But this also makes it more likely to explode.
Ruby ELECTRODE eats electricity in the atmosphere. On days when lightning strikes, you can see this POKéMON exploding all over the place from eating too much electricity.
Sapphire One of ELECTRODE’s characteristics is its attraction to electricity. It is a problematical POKéMON that congregates mostly at electrical power plants to feed on electricity that has just been generated.
FireRed It explodes in response to even minor stimuli. It is feared, with the nickname of “The Bomb Ball.”
LeafGreen It stores electric energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation.
Emerald They appear in great numbers at electric power plants. Because they feed on electricity, they cause massive and chaotic blackouts in nearby cities.
