#44 Zapdos - Aquapolis (ecard2)

Zapdos is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 80 HP, requiring two Colorless Energy to retreat. It features the Anti-Lightning ability, preventing the attachment of Lightning Energy cards from the player’s hand. The card includes two attacks: Plasma, which costs one Colorless Energy and deals 10 damage, and Lightning Storm, a more powerful move needing two Lightning and two Colorless Energy to deal 60 damage. Plasma allows the player to flip a coin, potentially attaching a Lightning Energy card from the discard pile if heads. Lightning Storm involves a coin flip that may add two damage counters to Zapdos if tails. The Pokémon resists Fighting-type attacks by 30 and is weak to Lightning-type attacks, doubling its damage. Designed by artist Hajime Kusajima, Zapdos is part of the Aquapolis set from the E-Card series, released in January 2003. Its rarity is listed as Rare, with a card number of 44 and a Pokédex entry number of 145. The card’s themecolor, a warm gold tone, aligns with its Lightning-type identity.
