What it does
Once during your turn (before your attack), you may flip a coin. If heads, do 20 damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon. (Apply Weakness and Resistance.) Either way, this ends your turn. This power can't be used if Elekid is Asleep, Confused, or Paralyzed.
If this Baby Pokémon is your Active Pokémon and your opponent tries to attack, your opponent flips a coin (before doing anything required in order to use that attack). If tails, your opponent's turn ends without an attack.
It rotates its arms to generate electricity, but it tires easily, so it charges up only a little bit.

Where it came from
Elekid 22/111 was introduced in the Neo Genesis expansion, released in 2000 as the first set to feature second-generation Pokémon from the Johto region. This set was a significant milestone for the Pokémon Trading Card Game, as it introduced Baby Pokémon, a new sub-class of creatures represented by their unique mechanics and smaller, simplified illustrations. Elekid, designed by Ken Sugimori, captured the energetic and mischievous nature of the creature, fitting perfectly into the transition from the base generation to the Gold and Silver era.
The artistic direction for Neo Genesis prioritized a softer, more playful aesthetic for the Baby Pokémon to emphasize their status as younger iterations of more powerful evolutions. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, this Elekid card features the iconic, clean line work associated with his early contributions to the franchise. Upon release, the card was well-received by players for its 'Baby Rule' mechanic, which forced opponents to flip a coin before attacking, making it a surprisingly effective defensive staple in competitive decks of the era.
