CATALOGUED · NOT YET PRICED
The sold-comp ledger contains zero rows for Electrode. A price appears here when at least eight verified sold lots for one exact printing and grade are in the ledger — that is the sample size the median is allowed to be computed from. No estimate, no range, no placeholder.

Electrode was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. By checklist position it is 21 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder. Its binder neighbours are Electabuzz (#20) and Pidgeotto (#22). 11 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 80.
Which printing you are holding
Electrode was printed three times over, and the three do not trade alike. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. So Electrode will be priced three times over, not once: a blended median across the three would be a figure nobody paid.
