Electrode-GX 155/168 · Celestial Storm

Electrode is Pokédex #101, generation 1 (Kanto). Electrode-GX is a Stage 1 GX Lightning Pokémon with 190 HP. The card says it evolves from Voltorb. In this catalog that name is Voltorb (#100).

Electrode-GX sits at 155/168 in Celestial Storm, position 158 of 187. Before it is 154 Articuno-GX, and after it is 156 Mr. Mime-GX. The set belongs to the Sun & Moon series. It was released on August 3, 2018. The printed size is 168. This checklist is longer, at 187 cards. The listed rarity is Rare Ultra.

Extra Energy Bomb is listed as Ability. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may attach 5 Energy cards from your discard pile to your Pokémon, except Pokémon-GX or Pokémon-EX, in any way you like. If you do, this Pokémon is Knocked Out. The attack Electro Ball lists 50 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Crush and Burn-GX is another attack lists 30+ damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Discard any amount of Energy from your Pokémon. This attack does 50 more damage for each card you discarded in this way. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 1. The card text says: Pokémon-GX rule: When your Pokémon-GX is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Electrode (#101) has 45 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 40 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 is named Electrode, while this one is Electrode-GX. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 190 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Rare Ultra. Keiji Kinebuchi illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 42 other cards of Electrode list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Celestial Storm set binder is where a full Celestial Storm set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Electrode can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
