Collector Insights
Ampharos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless Energy cards. It possesses the Energy Connect ability, allowing it to move a basic Energy card from a Benched Pokémon to its Active position during its owner’s turn, provided Ampharos is not affected by a Special Condition. The card’s primary attack, Miraculous Thunder, costs one Lightning and two Colorless Energy, dealing 50 damage and optionally discarding all Lightning Energy attached to Ampharos to inflict Burn and Confusion on the defending Pokémon. Ampharos resists Metal-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its design includes a regulation mark absence and is part of the EX series, released in the Unseen Forces set on August 1, 2005. The card’s artwork is attributed to Kyoko Umemoto, and it carries a Rare Holo rarity. This Pokémon’s strategic flexibility stems from its ability to manipulate Energy placement and its versatile attack options.
