Electrode · Aquapolis, what to know.
About the Electrode card
Numbered 8 of 182 in Aquapolis, released in January 2003, Electrode is a Rare, a Stage 1 Lightning-type carrying 70 HP.
It evolves from Voltorb, so Electrode is a later-stage card that set-builders usually slot into a full evolution run rather than buy alone.

About Electrode in the Pokémon world
The fully evolved Voltorb. Inverted color scheme. Jungle holo Electrode has thin demand outside set completionists.
What is Electrode worth?
Electrode is a non-holo Rare. In Aquapolis, value concentrates in the holo rares, so a Electrode trades modestly, though a clean, well-centered 1st Edition copy in PSA 10 is scarcer than the print run suggests and carries a real premium. Check the live price above for the figure by grade.
Print variants and how to spot them
Confirm the print and finish on Electrode before pricing it, since variant and rarity set the market more than the card name alone.
Grading and condition
Electrode grades on centering and edges more than surface. The card was played and traded more freely than the holos, so a clean, well-centered Electrode is worth more than collectors assume.
If you are collecting Electrode
For Electrode, check centering by eye, edge whitening on all four sides, and surface under angled light. Non-holo Rares from this era are cheap enough that a PSA 10 submission on a clean Electrode can make sense.
