Collector Insights

Ampharos-EX is a Double Rare Pokémon card from the Bandit Ring set, released on June 20, 2015. It has 170 HP and features two distinct attacks. The first attack, Thunder Rod, costs one Colorless Energy and allows the player to look at the top four cards of their deck, attaching any Lightning Energy cards found there to Ampharos-EX before shuffling the remaining cards back into the deck. The second attack, Sparkling Tail, requires four Energy cards—two Lightning and two Colorless—and deals 100 damage while ignoring Weakness, Resistance, and other effects on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The card’s artwork is credited to artist Eske Yoshinob, and it carries the number 27 in its set. Its design emphasizes electrical themes through its abilities, which focus on manipulating Energy resources and delivering direct damage. The card’s strategic versatility lies in its ability to both support its own Energy needs and disrupt the opponent’s defenses. This combination of resource management and offensive capabilities defines its role in gameplay.
