Collector Insights
Zapdos is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Ryo Ueda, part of the Hail Blizzard set released on September 16, 2011. It has 120 HP and is classified as a Rare card. The card includes two attacks: Random Spark and Thundering Hurricane. Random Spark requires one Lightning and two Colorless energies, dealing 50 damage to a single opponent’s Pokémon while ignoring Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon. Thundering Hurricane demands one Lightning and three Colorless energies, with a converted energy cost of 4, and inflicts 50 damage multiplied by the number of heads from flipping four coins. The card’s design emphasizes its electric-type attributes through strategic energy costs and probabilistic damage effects. Its rarity and set placement suggest it was intended for competitive play in the Pokémon TCG. The attacks reflect a balance between direct damage and variable outcomes, typical of its era in the game’s design.
