Verdict
Collector's Pick
Electrode is a Electric-type Pokemon with base stats of 173/173/155 (Atk/Def/Sta) and a max CP of 2,373. While it doesn't currently rank among the top raid attackers or PvP contenders, every Pokemon has its place in a trainer's collection. Electrode may shine during specific events, in limited-format cups, or when new moves are added in future updates. For now, hold onto a good IV specimen but save your Stardust and Candy for more impactful investments unless you're a dedicated fan of this Pokemon.
Shadow vs Regular: Shadow Electrode deals 20% more damage but takes ~20% more. For raids, Shadow is generally the better investment. For PvP, evaluate matchups carefully — the bulk loss can be significant.
