Generation 5
Black, White, Black 2, White 2

It is known to drift on winds if it is bloated to bursting with stored electricity.

Generation 6
X

It explodes in response to even minor stimuli. It is feared, with the nickname of “The Bomb Ball.”

Y

It stores an overflowing amount of electric energy inside its body. Even a small shock makes it explode.

Omega 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.

Alpha 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.
