Zapdos (Fossil 15)

Zapdos (Japanese: サンダー Thunder) is a Basic Pokémon card. It was first released as part of the TCG Fossil expansion.

Release Information
This card was included in the TCG Fossil expansion as both a Star Holofoil and Non Holofoil card, first released in the Japanese TCG Mystery of the Fossils as a Cosmos Holofoil card. In Japan, it was reprinted with different artwork by Ken Sugimori, available as a prize at the 1999 Tropical Mega Battle tournament. Those who were not in the main event could still battle each other, earning stamps for every battle they participated in. Those who completed their stamp booklet were awarded either a Zapdos,, or phone card at random in a sealed envelope. An alternate Cosmos Holofoil print was included in the English TCG Thunderstorm Theme Deck. This print changes the final copyright from ©1999 Wizards to ©1999-2000 Wizards.

Trivia

 * The Phone card promo is slightly longer than a normal trading card, as the print had to adopt the same dimensions as a regular Japanese phone card. That print utilizes the same stock Sugimori artwork of Zapdos that was later used on the Legendary Card from.
 * All prints of the English Holofoil Zapdos contain an error where they lack Holofoil where the Evolutionary Box for TCG Stage 1 Pokémon and TCG Stage 2 Pokémon normally is.
