It features the Poké-Body ability Jamming, which inflicts 1 damage counter on each of the opponent’s Pokémon after they play a Supporter card from their hand. The card’s attack, Cluster Bolt, requires one Lightning Energy and two Colorless Energy to deal 70 damage, with an optional effect that discards attached Lightning Energy to target Benched Pokémon. Ampharos resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks by 30. Its flavor text references a historical use of its glowing tail for signaling. The card was released in the POP Series 7 set on March 1, 2008, and is classified as a Rare card. Artist Kouki Saitou designed the artwork, and the card’s number in the set is 1.

The tip of its tail shines brightly. In the olden days, people sent signals using the tail's light.
