What Is On This Card?

Evolves from: Flaaffy

Poké-Body

Conductivity

As long as Ampharos ex is in play, whenever your opponent attaches an Energy card to his or her Pokémon from hand, put 1 damage counter on that Pokémon. You can't put more than 1 damage counter even if there is more than 1 Ampharos ex in play.

Attack · 40+ damage

Gigavolt

Lightning + Colorless + Colorless energy. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 30 more damage. If tails, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

When Pokémon-ex has been Knocked Out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, Dragon set name, and 89 / 97 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.

Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.

Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
