Collector Insights
Ampharos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 140 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. It includes the ability "Shocking Light," which allows the player to place three damage counters on an opponent's Pokémon-EX once during their turn. The card's attack, "Gigavolt," requires two Lightning and one Colorless energy, dealing 80+ damage and flipping a coin to either boost damage by 40 or paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon. Ampharos resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type moves with double damage. The card's flavor text describes its tail emitting a bright light, serving as a guide for lost individuals. It was released in the Steam Siege set as part of the XY series, with a rarity of Rare Holo. The artwork is credited to artist Kanako Eo.
The tail's tip shines brightly and can be seen from far away. It acts as a beacon for lost people.
