Collector Insights

Elekid is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 30 HP, featuring a unique ability called Sweet Sleeping Face. This ability prevents all damage to Elekid as long as it is Asleep, making it resilient during turns when it is in that state. Its sole attack, Sparking Ball, deals 20 damage to a chosen opponent’s Pokémon and forces Elekid to fall Asleep afterward. The attack bypasses Weakness and Resistance, ensuring consistent damage output regardless of the target’s defenses. Elekid is part of the HeartGold & SoulSilver series, released in the HS—Triumphant set on November 3, 2010. The card’s flavor text describes Elekid as a playful Pokémon that enjoys thunderstorms, reflecting its cheerful nature. It has no retreat cost or resistance, making it a straightforward yet strategic choice for players. The card’s design and mechanics align with its thematic connection to electricity and whimsical behavior.

Even in the most vicious storm, this Pokémon plays happily if thunder rumbles in the sky.
