Electrode 22/110 · Legendary Collection

Legendary Collection is a set in the Other series. It was released on May 24, 2002. The printed size is 110, and the checklist is the same length. Electrode is 22/110, in position 22 of 110 on this checklist. Before it is 21 Butterfree, and after it is 23 Exeggutor. The listed rarity is Rare.

Electrode is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 90 HP. The card lists level 42. In the Pokédex this is Electrode (#101), generation 1 (Kanto). The card says it evolves from Voltorb. In this catalog that name is Voltorb (#100).

Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card. The same name is on 721 other cards in the catalog.

Electrode (#101) has 45 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 39 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Electrode 21/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Electrode list a different HP.

The attack Tackle lists 20 damage. The cost is Colorless, Colorless. Chain Lightning is another attack lists 20 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Lightning. If the Defending Pokémon isn't Colorless, this attack does 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon of the same type as the Defending Pokémon (including your own). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "It stores electrical energy under very high pressure. It often explodes with little or no provocation."

I keep a set binder for Legendary Collection, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legendary Collection set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Electrode can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
