#47 Electrode - Shining Darkness (dp3)
Electrode is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori, part of the Shining Darkness set released on July 5, 2007. It has a rarity of Rare and a base HP of 80. The card’s sole attack, Ion Blast, requires one Lightning and one Colorless Energy to use. This attack deals 40 damage plus an additional 60, totaling 100 damage to the opponent. However, if the player chooses to do the extra 60 damage, Electrode inflicts 100 damage to itself. The attack’s effect emphasizes a self-sacrificial strategy, balancing offensive power with a drawback. The card’s design and mechanics align with its role in competitive play, offering a unique trade-off for high damage output. Its inclusion in the Shining Darkness set highlights its significance in the Pokémon TCG’s historical context.
