The expressions on both Electrode and Voltorb may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}. For their original forms, Voltorb has a negative angry look, where Electrode has a positive happy look. The polarity of these expressions, or charges, are reversed for their Hisuian forms. | The expressions on both Electrode and Voltorb may be a personification of the positive and negative charges associated with {{wp|electric charge}}.

Hisuian Electrode and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s | Hisuian Electrode and its {{t|Grass}} typing may be based on the fact that Poké Balls were originally made from [[Apricorn]]s (as hinted by its Legends: Arceus Pokédex entry), which may be based on {{wp|Castanea crenata|Japanese chestnut}} or {{wp|acorn}}s. It may also be based on traditional Japanese fireworks: they are spherical in shape, with shells made of {{wp|papier-mâché}}, charges inside that are often made with rice husks, and a hole where the fuse goes. This can be seen in the [[TCG]] and its statue at the [[Temple of Sinnoh]], which all depict it emitting blasts from a hole on its bottom to launch itself. Its {{Shiny}} coloration may be based on an {{hi|Ultra Ball}} or a {{hi|Heavy Ball}}. | ||
