Thundurus-EX

Description

The Thundurus-EX card, numbered 98 in the 2015 Roaring Skies expansion, represents a powerful addition to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. As a Basic Pokémon with 170 Hit Points, this Lightning-type creature offers significant presence on the battlefield. Thundurus-EX brings two distinct attacks to the table, allowing for versatile gameplay strategies. The first ability, Lightning Colorless Headlock, deals 30 damage and includes a coin flip mechanic; if heads, it deals an additional 30 damage, but if tails, it paralyzes the opponent's Active Pokémon. This dual outcome adds a layer of risk and reward to the attack. The second attack, Lightning Lightning Lightning Voltage Rush, deals a massive 150 damage but requires the Pokémon to inflict 50 damage to itself. This self-damage clause highlights the high-stakes nature of the card's offensive capabilities. Collectors and players alike appreciate the Thundurus-EX card for its combination of high HP and unique attack options. The Lightning Energy cost for its attacks makes it reliant on specific resource management, which adds strategic depth to deck building. For those interested in completing the Roaring Skies set, this ultra-rare holo card is a key component. The card's status as an EX Pokémon makes it particularly notable within the expansion, as EX cards often feature enhanced abilities and higher HP totals compared to standard Pokémon. Whether you are building a competitive deck or collecting for the artwork and design, Thundurus-EX stands out as a memorable part of the Pokémon TCG legacy from the mid-2010s.
