#43 Electivire - Burning Shadows (sm3)
Electivire is a Lightning-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, featured in the Burning Shadows set released on August 5, 2017. It has a rarity of Rare and is numbered 43 in the set. The card lists an HP of 140 and requires four Colorless energy to retreat, reflecting its moderate cost to deploy. Electivire boasts a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, but is weak to Fighting-type moves, which deal double damage. Its two attacks, Thunder Punch and Giga Impact, showcase its offensive capabilities. Thunder Punch costs one Lightning and two Colorless energy, dealing 60+ damage and flipping a coin to determine additional damage or self-inflicted harm. Giga Impact demands two Lightning and two Colorless energy, delivering 170 damage but preventing the Pokémon from attacking during the next turn. The flavor text describes Electivire as a creature that charges its foes with high-voltage currents, leaving them scorched. Artist kawayoo’s design captures the Pokémon’s electric theme through its visual composition.
