Trivia

When this card is scanned through the e-Reader, a Poké-POWER is revealed:

Energy Sprinkle エネスプリンクル

You can use this power once during your turn (before your attack), if Electrode is your Active Pokémon. This Poké-Power lets you move a number of basic Energy cards attached to Electrode to any number of your Benched Pokémon. This power can't be used when Electrode is affected by a Special Condition.

Selecting "Yes" shows the number of Energy cards.

Origin

Selfdestruct is a move in the Pokémon games that Electrode can learn.
