Ampharos Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Ampharos from Pokémon Platinum stands out for its unusual Poké-Body, Damage Bind, which shuts off Poké-Powers on any Pokémon already carrying damage counters and gave this holo a nasty control angle in the Platinum era.
Card History
This card’s Reflect Energy attack is a deliberate callback to older TCG design history, because Bulbapedia notes the attack name first appeared on Electabuzz from Expedition Base Set.
Artist
Collectors love this Ampharos even more because it was illustrated by Atsuko Nishida, the original creator of Pikachu and a foundational artist in both Pokémon’s game and card history.
Set Lore
As card #1 in the Platinum set, this holo sits at the front of an expansion built to mirror the launch era of Pokémon Platinum and helped usher in major TCG mechanics like Pokémon SP and the Lost Zone.
In-Game
Ampharos belongs to Generation II, the Johto wave introduced in Pokémon Gold and Silver, so this Platinum-era holo links Sinnoh’s blockbuster period back to one of the franchise’s most beloved earlier generations.
