In the anime

Electrode's first appearance was during EP033. It was used in a Pokémon Race.

When Team Rocket was trying to infiltrate Prof. Oak's lab in EP065, the fell into a pit of Electrode.

In Pikachu's Summer Vacation, an Electrode's explosion signaled the start of a swimming race between Ash's Squirtle and a Marril.

Orange Islands' Gym Leader Danny has an Electrode.

Electrode's first major role was during EP114. A town was over-populated with these Bomb-Ball Pokémon and a man named Poncho had a job of removing them.

In AG041, an Electrode that was painted like a Watermelon was guarding a patch of Watmel Berries.

In AG187, Jessie unintentionally and indirectly caused an Electrode to fall and explode on a bus that a Poké-sitter was driving.

Other appearances

Pokémon Snap

Many of these appear in the Tunnel. They are very prone to exploding, and will do so when hit by any item. Take a picture when it's just about to blow up for a special shot. Near the very end of the course, an Electrode can be seen off to the side near some rubble. Hit it, and it will explode to open the way to the next course, the Volcano.

Super Smash Brothers Melee

When released from a Pokéball, Electrode will pause for a few seconds before using explosion. It can be picked up and thrown, though this is risky as Electrode will hurt everyone near it, including the player who threw the Pokéball.

It is dangerous. If it has too much electricity and has nothing to do, it amuses itself by exploding.
Pokémon Silver
It stores an overflowing amount of electric energy inside its body. Even a small shock makes it explode.
Pokémon Crystal
The more energy it charges up, the faster it gets. But this also makes it more likely to explode.
Pokémon Ruby
Electrode eats electricity in the atmosphere. On days when lightning strikes, you can see this Pokémon exploding all over the place from eating too much electricity.
Pokémon Sapphire
One of Electrode's characteristics is its attraction to electricity. It is a problematical Pokémon that congregates mostly at electrical power plants to feed on electricity that has just been generated.
Pokémon Emerald
They appear in great numbers at electric power plants. Because they feed on electricity, they cause massive and chaotic blackouts in nearby cities.

Trivia

Origin

It seems to be based upon the concept of a living Poké Ball, and is often mistaken for one.

Name origin

An electrode is a device through which electrical current passes. Considering Electrode's tendency to self-destruct, it might also be a combination of electric and explode. Its Japanese name is probably a combination of 丸 maru, circle, and mine, as in landmine.
