Electrode, known as the Ball Pokémon, is a red and white ball shaped Pokémon that looks strikingly similar to a Poké Ball with its colors reversed (white on top and red on bottom instead of red on top and white on bottom, like Voltorb). They are known to explode at the slightest shock and without warning. Electrode feed on and store electricity from power plants and lightning storms, but rarely do they use it to attack foes. It instead uses its stored electric to increase its rolling speed. The strength of an Electrode's explosion is relative to the amount electricity stored. The stored energy also generates strong static electricity around Electrode's body, sometimes paralyzing enemies on contact. If it is bored, it often amuses itself by exploding. Electrode has two beady eyes and an almost nonstop grin. Electrode appears in Super Smash Bros., Super Smash Bros. Melee, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, where it explodes soon after coming out of its Poké Ball. In Brawl, Electrode will sometimes be a dud, and not explode. This allows it to be picked up and thrown. If left alone it will eventually explode on its own. It can be picked up and thrown as well in Melee and Brawl when it turns white before it explodes.
