Team Rocket's Zapdos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy. It boasts two attacks: "Jamming Wing" requires two Colorless Energies to deal 30 damage and allows moving an opponent's Energy from their Active Pokémon to a Benched one. The second attack, "Wicked Thunder," costs Lightning and two Colorless Energies, dealing 60+ damage, with an additional 60 boost if Team Rocket's Energy is attached. The card resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Lightning-type moves, multiplying damage by two.
