# Basic Lightning Energy - 14 (Japanese) #14 — Intro Pack (Bulbasaur)

## Summary

Basic Lightning Energy sits at the very bottom of the rarity ladder, a bulk slot in the Bulbasaur deck of the Intro Pack line, which Japan released in July 1999. The Japanese edition's Energy is a plain black bolt in a yellow disc, glowing against a bright, hazy yellow field, with a small mark in the lower left corner. Pack-in Energy like this only matters to completists chasing every Japanese Intro Pack card. The modelled guide sits at $3.00; no PSA population is on file.
