Collector Insights

Ampharos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 120 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy. It features two attacks: "Acceleration Bolt," which costs a single Lightning Energy to deal 30 damage and allows attaching up to two basic Energy cards from the deck to a Pokémon, and "Thunder," requiring two Colorless and one Lightning Energy to deal 80 damage while flipping a coin to potentially harm itself. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 damage but is weak to Fighting-type attacks multiplied by two. Its flavor text describes a glowing tail tip that serves as a distant beacon for lost individuals.
