What it does
After your opponent plays a Supporter card from his or her hand, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon. You can't use more than 1 Jamming Poké-Body each turn.
You may discard all Lightning Energy attached to Ampharos. If you do, this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any Energy cards attached to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
The tip of its tail shines brightly. In the olden days, people sent signals using the tail's light.

Where it came from
Released in 2008, the POP Series 7 set was part of the Pokémon Organized Play program, a promotional initiative designed to support local league play at hobby shops and retailers. Unlike the main expansion sets that were sold in booster packs at retail stores, these cards were distributed exclusively through blister packs or as participation rewards for players attending sanctioned events. This distribution method made the cards within the set unique mementos of the community-driven competitive environment of the late 2000s.
The Ampharos card, numbered 1/17, features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well-regarded for his consistent and clean aesthetic within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. His design captures Ampharos in a typical stance, emphasizing its electric nature within the simplified frame of a promotional set. Because these cards were produced specifically for tournament participants rather than the general consumer market, they have become significant markers of the era's competitive history and are often sought after for their distinct holographic patterns and limited availability.
