Strategy & play

How Electrode ex plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

  • Its main attack (Crush and Burn) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
  • Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
  • Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥45 effectively one-shots it.
  • A two-prize Pokémon — each KO gives the opponent 2 Prizes, so a single bad trade can lose the race. Back it with single-prize attackers.
  • A Stage 1 — one step up from Voltorb; doesn’t help your opening hand, but quick to set up.

How to beat Electrode ex

  • Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥45 damage one-shots it.
  • Gust it before the evolution is set up.
  • It gives up 2 Prizes — out-trade it with single-prize attackers.

Poké-Power: Extra Energy Bomb

Once during your turn (before your attack), you may discard Electrode ex and all the cards attached to it (this counts as Knocking Out Electrode ex). If you do, search your discard pile for 5 Energy cards and attach them to any of your Pokémon (excluding Pokémon-ex) in any way you like. This power can't be used if Electrode ex is affected by a Special Condition.

LCCrush and Burn — 30+

You may discard as many Energy as you like attached to your Pokémon in play. If you do, this attack does 30 damage plus 20 more damage for each Energy you discarded.

When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Electrode ex is real?

Electrode ex is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
