Voltorb evolves into Electrode at level 30. Being the fastest Pokémon when it was first introduced, Electrode's amazing Speed is still its most notable feature. The rest of its stats are decent, with a particularly bad Physical Attack. It can still be a somewhat good special sweeper, even though it doesn't high that high of a Special Attack. While it is known to use Explosion, its poor Attack stat means that you're better off using more conventional Electric-type moves like Thunderbolt and Electro Ball. Strangely, both Pokémon can also learn Gyro Ball naturally, which is completely useless due to their high Speed. | |||
Both Pokémon can have either Soundproof or Static as their normal ability as well as Aftermath as their hidden ability. Soundproof's effects are a bit too specific to be consistently useful, so Static or Aftermath is a better choice. Static has a chance of paralyzing the opponents when they use a move that makes contact with you, but Electrode isn't bulky enough to take many hits, and it can already outspeed most Pokémon without having to paralyze them. Aftermath causes the opponent to take damage equal to 25% of their maximum health if Electrode is knocked out with a contact move, which acts a bit like a passive Explosion. Both of them still aren't that useful, since they only activate when Electrode is hit by an opponent, with Aftermath actually requiring it to faint to be used. | |||
