#29 Zapdos - Generations (g1)

Zapdos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featured in the XY series under the Generations set, released on February 22, 2016. Its design is attributed to artist Ryo Ueda, and it carries a Rare Holo rarity. The card includes two attacks: Drill Peck, which costs one Lightning energy to deal 20 damage, and Raging Thunder, requiring two Lightning and one Colorless energy to strike for 120 damage while also inflicting 40 damage to a Benched Pokémon. Zapdos resists Fighting-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Lightning-type moves, which multiply its damage by two. The Pokémon has a retreat cost of two Colorless energy, and its flavor text describes it as a legendary Pokémon said to control lightning within thunderclouds. The card’s artwork and mechanics align with its thematic association with electrical power and storm-related abilities. As a key card in the Generations set, Zapdos represents a strategic option for players leveraging its energy efficiency and damage output.
