Zapdos [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Base Set Zapdos comes from the very first main Pokémon TCG expansion, making this holo one of the original legendary showpieces that helped define early English collecting in 1999.
Artist
This card is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the co-founder of Game Freak and primary character designer of the Pokémon franchise, which gives Base Set Zapdos the feel of classic first-generation official Pokémon artwork.
In-Game
Zapdos is one of Kanto’s three legendary birds and is famously encountered at the Power Plant in the original games, so this Base Set holo captures one of Generation I’s most memorable optional boss Pokémon.
Card History
Its attacks, Thunder and Thunderbolt, mirror the high-risk, high-power style of early Pokémon TCG design, giving Zapdos the kind of huge damage output that made Base Set holos feel dramatic and dangerous.
Set Lore
A 1st Edition Base Set Zapdos is part of the shadowless first print run, a detail collectors chase because it ties the card directly to the earliest English release wave of the hobby.
Price indexes
Price indexes follow the combined price of a group of cards over time.
