Collector Insights
Electabuzz is a Pokémon TCG card featuring a Lightning-type Pokémon with 60 HP. It was released in the Vending Machine Series 2 (Red) set on June 17, 1998, and is classified as a Common rarity. The card’s artwork is attributed to artist Miki Tanaka, with a theme color of #d1b482. Electabuzz has two attacks: "Lightning Rod" and "Lightning Bolt." The "Lightning Rod" attack costs one Lightning energy and allows the player to place a marker on an opponent’s Pokémon, restricting it to one such marker per Pokémon. The "Lightning Bolt" attack requires two Lightning energy and deals 10 damage to any Pokémon with a Lightning Rod marker, while also applying Weakness and Resistance effects. The card’s design emphasizes its role as a support and damage-dealing unit through these mechanics. Its straightforward yet strategic abilities align with the series’ focus on balanced gameplay.
