#40 Electrode - Mysterious Mountains (mysterious-mountains)

Electrode is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Sumiyoshi Kizuki, part of the Mysterious Mountains set released in 2002. The card has 70 HP and is classified as a Uncommon rarity. It includes two attacks: Plasma, which requires two Colorless Energy to deal 20 damage and potentially attaches a Lightning Energy card from the discard pile, and Selfdestruct, a high-cost attack that deals 100 damage to all Benched Pokémon and itself. The Plasma attack’s effect hinges on the presence of Lightning Energy in the discard pile, while Selfdestruct bypasses Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Both attacks emphasize Electrode’s role in disrupting opponents through direct damage and resource manipulation. The card’s design and mechanics align with the set’s thematic focus on elemental interactions and strategic advantages. Its combination of straightforward damage and conditional effects reflects the gameplay dynamics of the Mysterious Mountains expansion.
