Ampharos Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
In-Game
Ampharos is forever tied to Johto because Jasmine’s famous lighthouse Pokémon, Amphy, is the beacon of Olivine Lighthouse in Pokémon Gold, Silver, Crystal, HeartGold, and SoulSilver—giving this Aquapolis card instant storybook nostalgia for Gen II fans.
Card History
Ampharos also carried that lighthouse legacy into the anime, where Jasmine’s Ampharos appeared in the episode 'Fight for the Light!' as the shining heart of Olivine City’s landmark tower.
Set Lore
Aquapolis was released in English on January 15, 2003 as part of the e-Card era, and Ampharos was important enough to appear both as the standard 1/147 card and the holo H1/H32 version in the same set.
Card History
This card’s attack lineup gives it a distinctly early-2000s support-and-pressure feel, pairing Thundershock’s paralysis chance with Reflect Energy to shift basic Energy to your Bench instead of simply swinging for damage.
Artist
Aquapolis Ampharos was illustrated by Shin-ichi Yoshida, a veteran Pokémon TCG artist whose work stretches back to the Neo era, making this card feel right at home among the moody, collector-loved Wizards of the Coast e-Reader releases.
