07Why Collectors Want It

  • Jungle (1999) was the second WotC set; its 1st Edition holos are recognized as the cleaner companion print to Base Set's 1st Editions.
  • PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$2,167 — a 60× lift over raw 1st Ed, the largest grading multiple across the Electrode catalog.
  • Jungle 1st Editions are scarce in gem grade due to vintage WotC foil-pattern whitening on edges.
  • Strong crossover demand from Jungle-set completionists and vintage holo collectors.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Stage 1 Electrode with 90 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Tackle Cost: Colorless + Colorless · 20 damage

Chain Lightning Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Lightning · 20 damage

If the Defending Pokémon isn't Colorless, this attack does 10 damage to each Benched Pokémon of the same type as the Defending Pokémon (including your own).

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: WotC-era Electrode PSA 10 populations vary; small numbers across most sets.

Jungle 1999 holo; 1st Edition is the chase variant. PSA 10 1st Edition realizes ~$2,167 (PriceCharting, May 2026), ~60× raw 1st Edition.

Other graders: BGS and CGC also grade vintage Pokemon; PSA dominates secondary-market liquidity.
