Electrode · Skyridge, what to know.
About the Electrode card
Numbered 36 of 182 in Skyridge, released in May 2003, Electrode is an Uncommon, 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 an Uncommon, so raw copies are inexpensive and easy to find. The value is in condition: a genuine PSA 10, especially 1st Edition, can still reach a surprising figure for an otherwise common card. The live price above breaks it down 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 forgivingly, but the same centering and edge standards apply. Pack-fresh raw copies are easy to find, which makes a clean PSA 10 submission a low-cost way to learn how the cardstock behaves under grading.
If you are collecting Electrode
Raw copies of Electrode are inexpensive enough that grading rarely pays unless you have a clearly pack-fresh example. For set completion, a clean sleeved Electrode is the practical move.
