Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.

Zapdos (#145) has 49 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 34 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Zapdos 16/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 39 other cards of Zapdos list a different HP.

The attack Random Spark lists no damage number. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. This attack does 50 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Thundering Hurricane is another attack lists 50× damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless, Colorless. Flip 4 coins. This attack does 50 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Lightning ×2. Resistance is Fighting -20. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "A legendary Pokémon that is said to live in thunderclouds. It freely controls lightning bolts."

I keep a set binder for Legendary Treasures, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Legendary Treasures set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zapdos can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
