Ampharos is the Beacon Pokemon — an Electric-type whose glowing tail-tip shines so brightly it's been used as a lighthouse, and a beloved Johto flagship that headlined set after set as the coveted #1 card. Its cards run deep, led by the Dragon ex and a stack of holos.
Ampharos is a deep, even line — the Dragon ex tops $200, with Dark Ampharos, the Aquapolis holo, and a run of '#1 card' holos (Ampharos frequently headlined Johto-era sets). Ranked by verified sold price.
From 2003's EX Dragon, this Ampharos ex captures the early-EX era's high-HP, two-prize mechanic in a high-number rare. The priciest card in the line, a scarce and beloved ex, crowning it above $200.
