Electrode has no raid or PvP ranking right now. Keep a high-IV one for the Pokedex and for future move updates or limited-format cups, and spend your Stardust elsewhere.
- Bulk-leaning spread (173 Defense / 155 Stamina) — it stays on the field longer, which suits shielded PvP formats.
- A second charged move costs 50,000 Dust and 50 Candy, and with 4 charged moves to pick from it is the single biggest PvP upgrade you can buy.
- Shadow Electrode deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more: better for raids, riskier in PvP.
- Its moves get a damage boost in Rainy weather — worth timing raids around.

FAQ
What is the best moveset for Electrode in Pokemon GO?
Electrode's best moveset is Tackle (fast) with Hyper Beam (charged). Use a Fast TM or Charged TM to reroll onto it.
What are Electrode's weaknesses in Pokemon GO?
Electrode takes super effective damage from Ground-type moves. It resists Electric, Flying, Steel, so avoid those types against it.
What is Electrode's max CP in Pokemon GO?
Electrode reaches 2,373 CP at level 50 with XL Candy, or 2,099 CP at level 40. Level 50 needs XL Candy, which only unlocks at Trainer Level 31 and comes from catching, hatching, transferring and walking.
What CP is a 100% IV Electrode?
A perfect 15/15/15 Electrode shows 1,199 CP at level 20 (raid and egg catches) and 1,499 CP at level 25 (weather boosted). Seeing that exact number on the catch screen means it is a hundo — favourite it before you transfer anything.
Is Shadow Electrode better than regular Electrode?
Shadow Electrode deals 20% more damage and takes 20% more. For raids the trade is worth it; for PvP the lost bulk often is not. It arrives knowing Frustration, which should be replaced with a Charged TM during a Team GO Rocket event before you power it up.
How do you get Electrode in Pokemon GO?
Evolve it from Voltorb (50 Candy). It can be traded between trainers.
Can Electrode be shiny in Pokemon GO?
Shiny Electrode depends on whether Niantic has released the form. Check the events page for Community Days and event weekends, which is when shiny rates are boosted.
