Collector Insights

Elekid is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 30 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its sole attack, Energy Kick, requires one Lightning energy to use and involves flipping a coin. If the result is heads, the defending Pokémon’s attacker selects an Energy card attached to it, forcing the opponent to move that card to one of their other Pokémon. This effect is nullified if the opponent has no Benched Pokémon. The card features artwork by Hikaru Koike and is part of the Aquapolis set from the E-Card series, released in 2003. It carries a rarity of Rare and is numbered 9 in its set. The card’s theme revolves around strategic energy manipulation, as its attack disrupts the opponent’s resource management. Additionally, it includes a rule stating that if the active Pokémon is a Baby Pokémon and the opponent initiates an attack, they must flip a coin, ending their turn if tails. This adds a layer of unpredictability to gameplay involving Baby Pokémon.
