What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put 3 damage counters on 1 of your opponent's Pokémon-EX.
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 more damage. If tails, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
The tail's tip shines brightly and can be seen from far away. It acts as a beacon for lost people.

Where it came from
Ampharos (40/114) was released as part of the Steam Siege expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, which debuted in the English market in August 2016. This set was notable for its focus on the dual-type mechanic, featuring Pokémon that possessed two elemental types simultaneously to reflect the shift in the meta-game's complexity. Within this collection, the Ampharos card serves as a thematic continuation of the Light-type representation in the TCG, capturing the creature's classic electric-type identity.
The artwork for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a long-standing illustrator for the franchise known for his clean lines and dynamic poses. Saitou opted for a focused, singular depiction of Ampharos that emphasizes its gentle but powerful aesthetic, staying true to the character's design established in the second generation of Pokémon games. Upon release, the card was received as a standard Rare Holo, serving as a functional piece for players building electric-themed decks and a recognizable addition for collectors of the XY series.
