A Question...

[chibiipompom]

I think the substitute would take its damage but it would probably fade.

It would faint.
Explosion and Self Destruct don't do damage to the user. They automatically make him faint. That is also why Focus Sash and Focus Bands won't work.

 

[SHUCKLE MAN]

The Electrode would faint. Explosion's side effect is programmed in the game as making the Pokemon faint, rather than making the Pokemon take infinite damage.

It's still an awesome move despite making you faint though. You can't say 'no' to a power 500 move.

Electrode would fall off the bottom of the screen.
