Electrode (マルマイン, Marumain), is a fictional creature in the Pokémon series. It is an Electric-type Pokémon (#101 in the National Pokédex) that evolves from Voltorb. Electrode's appearance is similar to that of an upside-down Poké Ball, and is highly prone to explode. In Smash Bros., Electrode lives up to this behavior by using the Normal-type Explosion, the most powerful move in the series that also makes the user faint.

In Super Smash Bros.

As a stage element

Electrode made its debut to the Smash debut in Super Smash Bros. Electrode appears 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 damage and massive knockback.

In Super Smash Bros. Melee

As a Poké Ball Pokémon

Electrode makes an appearance once again in Super Smash Bros. Melee. Electrode is both used as an item and appears out of a Poké Ball. The attack Electrode uses in this game is identical to the attack of Electrode's in SSB. When Electrode comes out of the Poké Ball, it will just sit on the stage, but will start to get darker over a period of a few seconds. This serves as 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 at even low percentages. Electrode can be used as an item when Electrode is about to explode and starts to static, allowing any character to pick it up. The character that is holding Electrode must be fast when disposing it, as their throwing animation has more startup lag, making characters with larger throw delays (such as Marth and Bowser) have a smaller window of safety. Electrode also appears in the event match Bomb-fest as the only Poké Ball Pokémon. Electrode can also be used at any time through the Debug menu with the use of an Action Replay.

As a 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. It reads as follows:

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

Electrode returns to reprise its Melee role. This time, however, there is a chance that it will fail to explode, and it can only be picked up when this occurs. When a thrown Electrode collides with the ground or another player, it explodes. When smash thrown, it OHKOs nearly any character but the super-heavyweights. Occasionally it will seem to be a "dud", only to explode a few seconds later.

Trophy

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.

Trophy

Electrode

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!
