Electrode Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Electrode is the very first Electrode card in the Pokémon TCG, making #21/102 the debut cardboard appearance of one of Kanto’s most chaotic Lightning-types.
Set Lore
Because it comes from the original English Base Set released on January 9, 1999, this card is part of the expansion that launched the Pokémon TCG era for English-speaking collectors.
Card History
Its Pokémon Power, Buzzap, is a wonderfully reckless early-game design that lets Electrode Knock itself Out and become a double Energy card, perfectly matching the species’ explode-first personality.
Artist
The art is by Keiji Kinebuchi, one of the TCG’s early signature 3D illustrators whose computer-rendered style helped define the unmistakable look of many vintage Wizards-era cards.
In-Game
Electrode’s original Red and Blue Pokédex entry says it stores energy under intense pressure and often explodes with little or no provocation, which makes Buzzap feel like a direct translation of game lore into card mechanics.
