#98 Thundurus-EX - Roaring Skies (xy6)
Thundurus-EX is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 170 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy. Its attacks include Headlock, which requires one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 30+ damage, flipping a coin to either boost damage or paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The second attack, Voltage Rush, demands three Lightning energy to inflict 150 damage while also dealing 50 damage to itself. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. It is part of the XY series, released in the Roaring Skies set on May 6, 2015, and is illustrated by Ryo Ueda. As a Rare Ultra card, it carries a unique rule: when a Pokémon-EX is knocked out, the opponent loses two Prize cards. The card’s design aligns with its thematic connection to thunder and electricity, reflecting its role in competitive play through strategic energy management and conditional effects.
