When playing Pokemon: The Card Game (TCG), every player should know the best move to win the game. How can you win if you don’t know your golden moves, right? 

This blog discusses the Top 5 Lightning Pokemon Cards to help you win your battles and become a Pokemon Master! These lightning Pokemon have always impressed users due to their powers of paralyzing and stunning. 

5. Magnezone

The generation IV Magnezone is inevitably in our top 5, considering it has 11 resistances and one immunity! You will have to pay close attention to damage with this card; however, because it falls short because of the weaknesses, it has to fighting type Pokemon. You are bound to win with an HP of 140 and an ability like “Magnetic Circuit,” which allows you to attach any other lightning energy card to any Pokemon card from your deck. 

Now that you know the best cards to play in Lightning Pokemon, it’s time to search for these to add to your collection. 

Stagger your opponent off the playing field in seconds, especially those heavily dependent on Flying and Water-type Pokemon!

4. Jolteon

Having evolved with the Thunderstone, Jolteon has an HP of 90. With a speed base of 130, this makes Jolteon one of the card game’s quickest and most agile Pokemon. 

With this card, you can be both offensive and defensive, or a balance of both if you like. Moreover, it facilitates your other Pokemon in play to become a lightning type Pokemon along with their existing type with its ability “Electric Effect.”

Use this card and see how well it fits your deck format. 

3. Tapu Koko GX

Many players argue that Tapu Koko GX isn’t the strongest playing card in Pokemon TCG. While it may not have any resistance, unlike many other GX units, Tapu Koko doesn’t harbor any weaknesses either. It’s ability, known as “Sky-High Claws,” delivers a shock for 130 damage with no side effects. In comparison, ‘Tapu Thunder GX’ delivers 50 damage, multiplied by the amount of energy attached to all those Pokemon the player is opposing. 

2. Thundurus

A force to be reckoned with, Thundurus is a player-favorite and is used in many tournaments. With attacks like “Headlock” that require a flip of a coin, either option helps you win against your opponent. If you get heads, the attack will do 30 + 30 damage, and if you get tails, your opponent’s active Pokemon becomes paralyzed!

1. Mega Ampharos

With a whopping HP of 220, at number one, we have the Mega Amphorus. This lighting type Pokemon is equipped with an extremely powerful attack known as “Exavolt”. Though its speed isn’t up to par with a meager 45 stat due to its bulk, it is a great card to be played as a defense against an attacker.
