About this card
Base Set made room for Zapdos and left Articuno and Moltres out. Sugimori threw the wings wide until the spiked feathers reach both borders, with pale beams radiating out behind the body. Thunderbolt prints 100 damage, a figure matched only by Charizard's Fire Spin across the whole set, and both attacks charge you Energy off your own Pokémon to use them.
