#71 Electabuzz - Lost Thunder (sm8)
Electabuzz is a Pokémon card from the Sun & Moon series, part of the Lost Thunder set released in 2018. It is classified as a Lightning-type Pokémon with 80 HP and a rarity of Uncommon. The card features artwork by Naoyo Kimura and includes a single attack named Thunder Shock, which costs one Lightning and one Colorless energy to use. This attack deals 30 damage and has a secondary effect: flipping a coin to potentially paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon if the result is heads. Electabuzz has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. To retreat, players must pay two Colorless energy, reflecting its basic retreat cost. The card's flavor text describes electricity leaking from the Pokémon in excess of what it consumes, highlighting its energetic nature. Its design and mechanics align with the characteristics of a Lightning-type Pokémon in the game.
