What it does
Whenever an attack does damage to Electabuzz (after applying Weakness and Resistance) during your opponent's next turn, that attack only does half the damage to Electabuzz (rounded down to the nearest 10). (Any other effects of attacks still happen.)
Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 10 damage plus 20 more damage; if tails, this attack does 10 damage.
A wild Pokémon with a short temper. It is able to distinguish colors, and likes the color red.

Where it came from
The Electabuzz card was released in 1999 as part of the Wizards Black Star Promos series, a set of promotional cards distributed by Wizards of the Coast to support the early growth of the Pokémon Trading Card Game in North America. This specific card was notably included as a fixed inclusion in the Pokémon Trading Card Game Starter Deck, acting as an incentive for players transitioning from the initial base set into the organized play community.
The artwork features Electabuzz in an aggressive stance, designed by illustrator Ken Sugimori, whose distinctive, clean-lined style defined the visual aesthetic of the first generation of Pokémon. While the card lacks the holographic treatment found in rare base set pulls, its status as a reliable electric-type attacker made it a staple in early competitive decks, earning it a lasting place in the nostalgia of 1990s collectors.
