'''Electrode''' (Japanese: '''マルマイン''' ''Marumain'') is an {{type|Electric}}-[[Types|type]] Ball [[Pokémon (species)|Pokémon]] introduced in [[Generation I]]. It is known to drift on winds if it is bloated to bursting with stored electricity. It's nicked named the Exploding [[Pokémon]].

===Physiology===
  +
Electrode is a spherical Pokémon that bears a resemblance to an upside-down PokéBall. Its top half is white, and its bottom half is red. Electrode has two small beady black eyes, large prominent eyebrows, and a wide mischievously grinning mouth.
  +
  +
===Behavior===
  +
Electrode is an unpredictable and volatile Pokémon that will explode with little or no stimuli or provocation. It stores much electricity inside its spherical body, and often drifts on winds, full to bursting with stored electricity. It is feared by many due to its explosive and unpredictable nature.

*Despite having the option of capturing the Electrode in the Rocket Hideout, [[Lance]] only suggests battling and defeating them in order to stop the machine, despite the fact that capturing them would be more humane. Though his decision to not capture the one's he fights may be due to his specializing in Dragon pokemon, it seems an unlikely reason, due to the fact he could simply release them afterword. Another more likely possibility, is Lance had no Pokeballs with to capture them with at the time and was unaware if the player had any on them at the time. It is also possible that Lance was testing the player, by not mentioning they could capture them, possibly wanting to see how they would deal with the situation.

Electrode's name appears to come from the actual word "electrode", which is a conductor through which electricity enters or leaves. It might also be a combination of "electric" and "explode".
