#60 Electrike - Primal Clash (xy5)
Electrike is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 50 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its sole attack, Thunder Fang, costs one Lightning energy to deal 10 damage and grants a 50% chance to paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon. The card has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and is weak to Fighting-type moves, taking double damage. It was first released in the XY series' Primal Clash set on February 4, 2015, with card number 60 and a rarity of Uncommon. Artist Sanosuke Sakuma designed the card, which includes a flavor text describing its ability to store static electricity in its fur and emit sparks before storms. The Pokémon’s typing and abilities align with its thematic connection to electrical phenomena. This card’s strategic versatility stems from its balanced energy requirements and conditional status effect.
