Zapdos [Cosmos Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Cosmos Holo version of Zapdos is a true variant piece for Fossil collectors, because Bulbapedia notes that an alternate Cosmos Holofoil print was included in the English Thunderstorm Theme Deck rather than the standard Fossil holo pattern.
Artist
Zapdos #15 carries artwork by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational illustrators of the Pokémon TCG who has been creating card art since the game’s inception, giving this card extra weight as part of the hobby’s original visual identity.
In-Game
The card hits harder for fans of the original games because Zapdos was one of Kanto’s legendary bird encounters at the Power Plant, making this Fossil holo feel like a cardboard snapshot of one of Red and Blue’s most memorable captures.
Card History
Zapdos became even more iconic beyond the games through major screen appearances, including Pokémon the Movie 2000 and later anime entries, which helped cement it as one of the franchise’s most recognizable Legendary Pokémon.
Set Lore
Fossil-era Zapdos has a neat collector quirk: Bulbapedia records that all English holo prints of this card have an error where the usual holofoil area near the Evolution box is missing, a tiny production detail vintage fans love to hunt for.
