Gaps mean no observation; guide estimates and asking prices are not completed sales.Released in 2012 as card number 50 in the Next Destinies expansion, this Zekrom card holds a significant place in the Pokémon Trading Card Game landscape. Illustrated by 5ban Graphics, the card represents the legendary Dragon-type Pokémon known for its connection to lightning and electricity. As a Basic stage Pokémon, it serves as a foundational piece for decks aiming to harness its raw power without requiring evolution stages. Zekrom boasts a substantial 130 Hit Points, providing durability in early turns. Its gameplay mechanics are defined by two distinct attacks that offer strategic flexibility. The first attack, Colorless Outrage, deals 20 damage plus an additional 10 damage for each damage counter on the Pokémon itself. This mechanic rewards players who are willing to take calculated risks, allowing the card to scale its offensive output as the match progresses. The second attack, Bolt Strike, delivers a massive 120 damage but comes with a significant drawback: the Pokémon takes 40 damage to itself. This self-inflicted cost adds a layer of tactical depth, forcing trainers to carefully manage its health relative to the opponent's potential responses. Collectors value this card not only for its gameplay utility but also for its role in the Next Destinies set history. Its Lightning energy type allows it to utilize specific energy acceleration strategies, making it a versatile choice for various deck builds. Whether you are building a competitive deck or simply expanding your collection of Legendary Pokémon cards, this release remains a notable entry for enthusiasts of the franchise.
