Collector Insights

Ampharos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 140 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy. Its ability, Electromagnetic Wall, imposes a penalty on opponents by adding three damage counters to their Pokémon whenever they attach an Energy from their hand. The card’s attack, Electrobullet, costs one Lightning and two Colorless Energy to deal 70 damage and inflicts an extra 20 damage to a Benched opponent’s Pokémon, bypassing usual Weakness and Resistance. Ampharos belongs to the Black & White series, released in 2012, and is part of the Dragons Exalted set. It has a Fighting-type weakness that multiplies damage by two. The card is classified as a Rare Holo and was illustrated by artist Hajime Kusajima. Its flavor text references the Pokémon’s tail light, which historically was used for signaling purposes.

The tip of its tail shines brightly. In the olden days, people sent signals using the tail's light.
