Electrode evolution

Pokémon GO has no evolution levels: a Pokémon evolves when you spend Candy on it (sometimes with an item or a task), at any level.

Electrode evolves from Voltorb for 50 Voltorb Candy.

Electrode is the last stage of its family: it does not evolve further.

Family: Voltorb · Electrode

Electrode CP by level
