#23 Zapdos - Wizards Black Star Promos (basep)
Zapdos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its sole attack, Lightning Burn, requires three Lightning energy to deploy and deals 30 damage. The attack involves flipping a coin; if heads, it targets an opponent’s Benched Pokémon, bypassing Weakness and Resistance, while tails results in 30 damage to Zapdos itself. The card includes a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30. It is part of the Base series, released in 1999 as a Promo rarity in the Wizards Black Star Promos set. The card’s flavor text references its association with lightning storms, emphasizing its elemental connection. Designed by artist Toshinao Aoki, it carries the theme number 23 and is numbered 23 in the set. The card’s themecolor is a warm gold, reflecting its electric attributes.
