Description

Ampharos (hgss1-14 Reverse Holofoil) is a Stage 2 Lightning-type Pokémon from the HeartGold & SoulSilver expansion. Its first attack, Acceleration Bolt, lets you search your deck for up to two basic Energy cards and attach them to one of your Pokémon, while its Thunder attack deals high damage with a self-damage risk on a tails flip. The card has Fighting weakness, Metal resistance, and a one Colorless retreat cost, giving it defined match-up and mobility considerations.
