 ===Origin===
-It seems to be based upon the concept of a living [[Poké Ball]], and is often mistaken for one. Also, based on its Japanese name and its explosive tendencies, Electrode may have some connection to land mines. The design concept may be inheritance from the time when the franchise was known as [[Capsule Monsters]], as early artworks show Poké Balls without the button in the middle. Like {{p|Voltorb}}, it may be based on {{wp|ball lightning}} as well.
