Collector Insights

Ampharos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 150 HP, featuring a resistance to Metal attacks that reduces damage by 20 and a weakness to Fighting attacks that multiplies damage by two. Its ability, Unseen Flash, allows the player to place two Lightning Energy cards from their hand into the Lost Zone during their turn, paralyzing the opponent's Active Pokémon. The card’s attack, Split Bomb, costs two Lightning Energy and deals 50 damage to two of the opponent’s Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Ampharos requires two Colorless Energy to retreat and is part of the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Lost Thunder set, released in November 2018. The card’s design is attributed to artist Satoshi Shirai, and it corresponds to Pokémon number 181 in the Pokédex. Its flavor text describes a tail that glows brightly, serving as a guide for lost individuals. The card’s rarity is listed as Rare Holo, making it a notable inclusion in competitive and collection-focused play.

The tail's tip shines brightly and can be seen from far away. It acts as a beacon for lost people.
