In the original 1999 Pokémon TCG Fossil expansion, this holographic Rare trading card features the legendary Electric-type bird, Zapdos. Mitsuhiro Arita’s vibrant artwork shows Zapdos mid-flight with spiky yellow wings against a shimmering star-pattern holofoil background, emphasizing its thunderous power. With 80 HP and the powerful Thunderstorm attack, it was a formidable presence in early gameplay. Collectors prize this Fossil-era Zapdos for its nostalgic artwork and rarity – some print runs even include a rare 'Incomplete Holo' foil printing error, making those copies uniquely collectible.
