Collector Insights

Ampharos-EX is a Pokémon card from the Bandit Ring set, released on June 20, 2015. It features artwork by Ryo Ueda and is numbered 85 in its set. The card has a base HP of 170 and is classified as a Super Rare rarity in Japanese language. Its primary attack, Thunder Rod, requires one Colorless Energy and allows the player to look at the top four deck cards, attaching any Lightning Energy found to Ampharos-EX. The attached energies are then shuffled back into the deck. The secondary attack, Sparkling Tail, costs four Energy (two Lightning and two Colorless) and deals 100 damage. This attack bypasses typical weaknesses and resistances on the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The card’s design emphasizes its electrical theme through its abilities, which focus on energy manipulation and direct damage. Its mechanics support strategies involving energy attachment and resource management.
