# Zapdos ex #116/112 — FireRed & LeafGreen

## Summary

Zapdos ex carries the lasting pull of Kanto's original Electric bird, a favorite with anyone who grew up on Red and Blue. As a Basic ex with a Poke-POWER and an attack that scaled when you fed it energy, it was a playable threat in its format. The modelled guide sits at $45; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
