Attacks

30Lightning Burn
Flip a coin. If heads, and if your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them. This attack does 30 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If tails, Zapdos does 30 damage to itself.

“This legendary Pokémon is said to be present wherever there is a lightning storm.”
