What it does
Flip 3 coins. For each heads, you may search your deck for a Lightning Energy card and attach it to 1 of your Lightning Pokémon. Shuffle your deck afterward.
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 20 more damage. If tails, this attack does 40 damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
The bright light on its tail can be seen far away. It has been treasured since ancient times as a beacon.

Where it came from
Released in September 2001, the Neo Revelation expansion marked the fourth installment in the Neo series of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which introduced the Johto region to Western players. As the first card in the set, this Ampharos holo-rare serves as a definitive centerpiece, reflecting the shift toward the more intricate, experimental illustration styles that defined the early second-generation era of the game.
The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary illustrator and character designer for the Pokémon franchise. In this depiction, Sugimori utilizes his signature clean, minimalist aesthetic to capture Ampharos in a poised, contemplative stance. Upon its release, the card was highly regarded by competitive players and collectors alike, both for its utility as a powerful electric-type attacker and for the holographic foil pattern that distinguished it as the inaugural entry of the set.
