Collector Insights

Elekid is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 30 HP, featuring a unique ability called Playful Punch. This Pokémon Power allows the player to flip a coin once during their turn before an attack; if heads, 20 damage is dealt to the opponent's Active Pokémon, with Weakness and Resistance applied. The ability concludes the player's turn and cannot be used if Elekid is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed. The card's flavor text describes Elekid rotating its arms to generate electricity, though it tires easily and charges only slightly. Designed by artist Miki Tanaka, this Rare card belongs to the Neo series, released as part of the Neo Genesis set in December 2000. Its thematic color is a warm gold, reflecting its Lightning typing. As a Baby Pokémon, Elekid has a defensive rule that lets it interrupt an opponent's attack by forcing a coin flip, ending their turn on tails. The card's regulation mark is unspecified, but its strategic versatility aligns with its role in competitive play.

It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it charges up only a little bit.
