#16 Zapdos - Base (base1)
Zapdos is a Pokémon TCG card featuring the Lightning type, with 90 HP and a retreat cost of three Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: Thunder, which costs three Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 60 damage, and Thunderbolt, requiring four Lightning energy to deal 100 damage. The Thunder attack involves flipping a coin, inflicting 30 damage to Zapdos if tails, while Thunderbolt mandates discarding all attached Energy cards to activate. The card resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 damage but has no listed weaknesses. Designed by artist Ken Sugimori, the card reflects a legendary bird Pokémon associated with powerful lightning strikes. It belongs to the Base set, released in 1999, and is classified as a Rare Holo. The card’s number is 16, with a Pokédex entry listing it as number 145.
