Its Ability

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.

Its attacks

Miraculous Thunder

50

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

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It has an Ability, Energy Connect. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,828 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Flaaffy to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 5,828 tournament lists we have read, 1,323 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
