Ampharos ex is a Lightning-type Stage 2 Pokémon TCG trading card (330 HP) from the 2023 Scarlet & Violet series, issued as a Black Star Promo (SVP #016) and originally included in the Ampharos EX 60-card Battle Deck. It packs strong attacks like Electro Ball (60 damage) and Thunderstrike Tail (140+ damage when Energy is discarded), making it a powerful Electric-type asset for players. The holofoil artwork by Planeta Tsuji depicts Ampharos unleashing bright golden lightning from its tail, giving the card a vibrant, full-art appearance under the foiled surface. As a rare promo with a striking holographic design and nostalgic Johto-generation appeal, this Ampharos ex is highly collectible – prized for both its competitive play value and eye-catching illustration.
