About this card
Electroburn hits for 70 and then turns 10 damage back on Zapdos for each Lightning Energy attached to it, so the heavier the build the worse the deal. Plasma, the one-Energy attack, pulls a Lightning Energy back out of the discard pile every time it fires. Creatures later reprinted this Japanese version, set symbol and rarity intact, in a 25th anniversary half deck made for its own illustrators and staff, where the card stands in for the year 1999.
