PokeBonk Electrode
Pokemon · Voltorb line · last checked 2026-10-20
PokeBonk Electrode is an Electric-type Pokemon that you cannot pick at the start of a run: it is the evolved form of Voltorb, a League Pokemon. Play Voltorb and it evolves into Electrode automatically at player level 40, which raises your HP and damage multiplier to 1.12x. Electrode keeps the Voltorb kit and upgrades the Ultimate to Big Explosion. The line sits in S tier with a Kit Score of 62.9.

How to get Electrode in PokeBonk
You do not unlock Electrode directly. First unlock Voltorb through its League challenge and catch it; the PokeBonk unlock Pokemon guide lists the conditions. Then pick Voltorb for a run and level up: evolution in a run depends only on your player level, not on stones or trades, so Electrode arrives at level 40.
Each stage adds 0.12 to your HP and damage multiplier, so an evolved form hits harder and takes more hits than the Pokemon you started with. An Eviolite helps until the last stage. See PokeBonk evolution for every line.
Electrode moves and passive
Electrode uses the same four-move kit as Voltorb; evolving does not swap moves. Its passive is Aftermath: +15% speed. Enemies you defeat have a 12% chance to explode (3 m, Electric damage that paralyzes); with Electrode, 20%.
| Slot | Move | Type | Class | Shape | Unlocks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Spark | Electric | Physical | Charge | Start |
| 2 | Electroweb | Electric | Special | Cone | Level 2 |
| 3 | Rising Voltage | Electric | Special | Heavenly Impact | Level 4 |
| 4 | Discharge | Electric | Special | Shockwave | Level 7 |
Electrode Ultimate
At this stage the Ultimate is Big Explosion, lasting 2.4 seconds: You charge up with electricity and explode without fainting: a 15 m explosion with eight electric fissures; with Maturity, Voltorb dive down and burst. The PokeBonk Ultimate guide explains how to charge it faster.
Electrode evolution levels in PokeBonk
In PokeBonk every evolution happens by player level inside a run, whatever the main games ask for. The Voltorb line evolves like this: Voltorb evolves into Electrode at level 40.
Electrode stats in runs
The game turns base stats into run stats with the share of each stat in the base stat total, so a balanced Pokemon and a lopsided one end up with different strengths. Each evolution stage adds 0.12 to the HP and damage multiplier. These are the starting values before Lab upgrades, items and vitamins:
| Form | Stage | Max HP | Armor | Speed | Physical | Special | Damage |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Voltorb | 0 | 103 | 8.5 | 1.14x | 0.93x | 1.02x | 1x |
| Electrode | 1 | 115 | 8.1 | 1.14x | 0.94x | 1.02x | 1.12x |
