Oracle Text
Attack Zap Kick (10)
Attack Thunder Jolt (30): Flip a coin. If tails, Electrike does 10 damage to itself.
Card Details
Set
Character Background
Electrike in Ruby & Sapphire is a tidy little Lightning Basic that naturally pushes a tempo-oriented game plan: it can accelerate itself with Charge, then threaten a surprisingly efficient 30 damage from Thunder Jolt while still keeping your Energy count moving in the right direction. The real strength here is value—getting a Lightning Energy back from the discard pile means Electrike helps recycle resources after early trades, making it especially useful in decks that expect to discard Energy through attack costs, Professor Oak-style draw, or other self-mill effects. A strong deckbuilding tip is to pair Electrike with cards that can repeatedly pitch Lightning Energy and with bench protection or switching support, since self-damage from Thunder Jolt can add up if the coin flips go badly. In play, it rewards aggressive sequencing: Charge when you can afford a slower turn, then pivot into pressure once your Energy loop is online.
