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
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.
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.

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.
