Ampharos 1/17 · POP Series 7
POP Series 7 is a set in the POP series. It was released on March 1, 2008. The printed size is 17, and the checklist is the same length. Ampharos is 1/17, in position 1 of 17 on this checklist. The next card is 2 Gallade. The listed rarity is Rare.
Ampharos is a Stage 2 Lightning Pokémon with 130 HP. The card lists level 52. In the Pokédex this is Ampharos (#181), generation 2 (Johto). The card says it evolves from Flaaffy. In this catalog that name is Flaaffy (#180).
Kouki Saitou illustrated this card. The same name is on 652 other cards in the catalog.
Ampharos (#181) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Ampharos 1/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 35 other cards of Ampharos list a different HP.
Jamming is listed as Poké-Body. After your opponent plays a Supporter card from his or her hand, put 1 damage counter on each of your opponent's Pokémon. You can't use more than 1 Jamming Poké-Body each turn. The attack Cluster Bolt lists 70 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless, Colorless. You may discard all Lightning Energy attached to Ampharos. If you do, this attack does 20 damage to each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any Energy cards attached to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting +30. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 3. The flavor text reads "The tip of its tail shines brightly. In the olden days, people sent signals using the tail's light."
I keep a set binder for POP Series 7, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the POP Series 7 set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ampharos can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
