Release information
This card was included in the Base Set, first released in the Japanese Expansion Pack. It was reprinted in the Base Set 2 expansion.
In the Scarlet & Violet Series, this card was reprinted in Holofoil for the Charizard & Ho-Oh ex deck of the Pokémon Trading Card Game Classic. This reprint lacks a regulation mark and is thus not legal for tournament play.
Trivia
- Most likely because of its complicated and potentially difficult to program Pokémon Power, this card was not included in Pokémon Trading Card Game or Pokémon Trading Card Game 2: The Invasion of Team GR!. It shares this trait with Ditto.
- The art for this card was accidentally used in the first print run for the Non Holofoil Electrode of the Jungle expansion.
Origin
Electric Shock's Japanese name is that of Thunder Jolt, a move in the Super Smash Bros. series. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue. The Japanese entry comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
