Abilities

Poké-Power: Energy Connect
As often as you like during your turn (before your attack), you may move a basic Energy card attached to 1 of your Benched Pokémon to your Active Pokémon. This power can't be used if Ampharos is affected by a Special Condition.

Attacks

Miraculous Thunder50
You may discard all Lightning Energy attached to Ampharos. If you do, the Defending Pokémon is now Burned and Confused.

Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Ampharos standing gracefully on a grassy hill under a starry, sparkling night sky, its tail glowing with a bright red orb, illuminating the serene and magical surroundings.

Playability Overview

Ampharos's Energy Connect allows flexible energy movement, making it strategically valuable, but its moderate HP and reliance on discarding Lightning energy for a burn/confuse effect limit its overall competitive viability.
