Pokémon GO is a set in the Sword & Shield series. It was released on July 1, 2022. The printed size is 78. This checklist is longer, at 88 cards. Zapdos is 29/78, in position 29 of 88 on this checklist. Before it is 28 Pikachu, and after it is 30 Mewtwo V. The listed rarity is Rare Holo.

Zapdos is a Basic Lightning Pokémon with 120 HP. In the Pokédex this is Zapdos (#145), generation 1 (Kanto).

Yuya Oka illustrated this card. The same name is on 37 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 Yuya Oka illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 39 other cards of Zapdos list a different HP.

Lightning Symbol is listed as Ability. Your Basic Lightning Pokémon's attacks, except any Zapdos, do 10 more damage to your opponent's Active Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Electric Ball lists 110 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "This Pokémon has complete control over electricity. There are tales of Zapdos nesting in the dark depths of pitch-black thunderclouds." The regulation mark is F.

I keep a set binder for Pokémon GO, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Pokémon GO 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.
