#180 Vikavolt V - Darkness Ablaze (swsh3)

Vikavolt V is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 210 HP, featured in the Sword & Shield series within the Darkness Ablaze set. Released on August 14, 2020, it is classified as a Rare Ultra card and illustrated by Ayaka Yoshida. The Pokémon has a retreat cost of three Colorless energy and no resistances, making it vulnerable to Fighting-type attacks with a ×2 weakness. Its two attacks include Paralyzing Bolt, which costs one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 50 damage and restricts the opponent from playing Item cards during their next turn. The second attack, Super Zap Cannon, requires three Energy (two Lightning and one Colorless) to deal 190 damage while mandating the discard of two Energy cards from the active Pokémon. The card’s rules specify that the opponent takes two Prize cards when Vikavolt V is Knocked Out. This card’s design emphasizes its role as a high-impact attacker with strategic limitations tied to its energy costs and special conditions.
