kawayoo illustrated this card. The same name is on 209 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 110 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 41 other cards of Zapdos list a different HP.

The attack Thunderous Assault lists 10+ damage. The cost is Lightning. If this Pokémon was on the Bench and became your Active Pokémon this turn, this attack does 70 more damage. This attack's damage isn't affected by Weakness. 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 Team Up, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Team Up 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.
