Tap to open
Electrode is one of those Jungle set cards that quietly rewards patient collectors, a Rare from 1999 illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita and carrying that unmistakable early Pokemon TCG charm. If you are digging into Electrode value, the short version is that this 1st Edition #2 print sits comfortably above common bulk rares, with a raw copy running $37 and serious money waiting at the top grades. It is not a flashy chase card, but it is a genuinely satisfying one to track down and hold onto.

The collector's take on Electrode
Is Electrode worth grading?
So is it worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw Electrode sits at $37, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $2,773, which works out to about 74.9 times the ungraded price. That is a real gap, and it is exactly why people ask about grading in the first place. The catch is that gem mint 10s are hard to land, Jungle era cards often show print lines, whitening, or edge wear that keeps them out of that top tier, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time add up whether your card comes back a 10 or a disappointing 8. A Grade 9 still nets $246, which is a solid outcome and a much safer bet than gambling everything on a perfect 10. My honest take, if your copy already looks sharp under a light and a loupe, grading can make sense. If it is rough around the edges, you are probably better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.
How rare is Electrode?
We do not have official population figures to point to here, but Electrode's standing as a Rare from the original Jungle set already tells you plenty. Jungle cards from 1999 were printed in far smaller numbers than later sets, and the 1st edition stamp narrows that pool even further since it was only available for a limited print run before the unlimited reprints took over. That combination, an older set, a 1st edition marking, and decades of handling, shuffling, and casual play, means truly clean surviving copies are genuinely uncommon. Scarcity like that is a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw card.
Where can you pull Electrode?
Here is the part most price guides cannot tell you: across every site PackSpy tracks, we have not recorded a single pull of this Electrode print. That is not us being cagey, it genuinely has not shown up in the live opens we monitor, which tells you it is not sitting in modern packs or trending pull sites at all. If you want one, your realistic path is the secondary market, hunting older Jungle booster boxes or sealed product from collectors, or watching auction listings closely. It is a reminder that opening packs is a gamble and most rips do not pay off, so for a specific vintage card like this, buying smart on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route than chasing it in a rip.
Questions people ask
How much is Electrode worth?+
A raw or ungraded Electrode from the Jungle 1st Edition print runs about $37. Grade it and the value climbs fast, with a Grade 9 sitting at $246 and a PSA 10 reaching $2,773.
Is Electrode worth grading?+
It depends on the condition of your copy. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 74.9 times the value, which is significant, but gem mint 10s are genuinely tough to hit on 1999 Jungle cards, and grading fees plus the risk of a lower grade are real costs to weigh before sending it in.
Why is the Electrode 1st Edition #2 print worth more than the standard one?+
The 1st edition stamp marks an early, more limited print run before the set moved to unlimited printing, so fewer of these copies exist in the wild. That scarcity, combined with collector demand for anything tied to the original Jungle release, is what pushes the 1st edition price above a standard unlimited copy.
