Collector Insights

Zapdos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energies. It includes two attacks: "Random Spark" requires one Lightning and two Colorless energies to deal 50 damage to a single opponent's Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched targets. The second attack, "Thundering Hurricane," uses one Lightning and three Colorless energies, dealing 50 damage multiplied by the number of heads from four flipped coins. The card carries a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, but is weak to Lightning-type moves, taking double damage. Its design by artist Kouki Saitou reflects its thematic connection to thunder and lightning, as hinted by its flavor text describing it as a legendary Pokémon dwelling in thunderclouds and wielding lightning. The card is part of the Black & White series, released in November 2013, and is classified as a Rare Holo. It appears in the Legendary Treasures set, with the dex number 145.

A legendary Pokémon that is said to live in thunderclouds. It freely controls lightning bolts.
