Blitzle is the Electrified Pokémon, a zebra-like Electric type that evolves into Zebstrika at level 27. Its spiky white mane ends in a lightning-bolt shape and holds electricity, which it flashes in patterns to signal other Blitzle. The charge comes from its heartbeat, so a fright makes its voltage spike.
All of Blitzle's possible Abilities grant immunity to a specific type, a trait it shares with its evolution Zebstrika among Pokémon that have more than one possible Ability. Its name may join Blitz, German for lightning, with little, and it resembles a zebra foal and may be based on two of Helios's mythical steeds, Bronte and Sterope, whose names mean thunder and lightning in Greek.
Stephan's Blitzle appeared in Oshawott's Lost Scalchop!, battling Ash's Oshawott and knocking loose its scalchop before later losing a rematch; it evolved into Zebstrika before Reunion Battles In Nimbasa!. Luisa also owned a Blitzle that was injured in the desert and helped by Damon using his Reuniclus's Psychic during the Victini films.
Blitzle's first card was a 2011 Black and White Common illustrated by Kouki Saitou, with a second Common printing by Kagemaru Himeno in the same release. It has stayed a Common through most eras, appearing in sets from Noble Victories to Surging Sparks and in the McDonald's Collection 2011 set illustrated by Ken Sugimori.
Paradox Rift and White Flare each paired a standard Common Blitzle with an illustration rare, by matazo and Natsumi Miyanose respectively.

Blitzle cards span 2011 to 2025, and all 19 of the Blitzle cards carry a market value. The most valuable Blitzle card is the Illustration rare from Paradox Rift, printed in 2023, with the White Flare Illustration rare from 2025 right behind it. The ten leading cards hold 95 percent of the total value, so Blitzle card value is set almost entirely by a short list of prints.
Paradox Rift (2023) holds the top Blitzle card, an Illustration rare, a card type where the artwork extends across the frame. It leads the White Flare (2025) Illustration rare by 1.2 times, so the two sit close together. Third comes the McDonald's Collection 2011 Blitzle, and the Common from Noble Victories (2011) is fourth. Past the leading pair, the most valuable Blitzle cards are a promotional set card and an ordinary Common.
Of the twenty-five leading Blitzle cards, 6 come from Black & White, 5 from Scarlet & Violet, 3 from XY and 3 from Sword & Shield. The newest era's leader is the Paradox Rift Blitzle from 2023, which ranks 1st overall. Vintage here means the WOTC era and modern is every later era, and the Blitzle leaders are all modern: 10 of the top ten and 19 of the top twenty-five.
Among the ten leading Blitzle cards, 6 are Commons, 2 are Illustration rares and 1 is a Promo. Widening to the leading twenty-five, 15 are Commons, 2 are Illustration rares and 1 is a Promo. The Promo is the SWSH Black Star Promos card from 2019. The Commons come from Noble Victories, Boundaries Crossed, Black & White and Next Destinies, so Common prints from the Black & White era fill most of the list.
By the value of its single leading card, Blitzle ranks 699th of 1020 species with priced cards, and by the combined value of its ten leaders it ranks 545th of 753. Zebstrika, the other member of the line, ranks 484th of 1020 by its top card, ahead of Blitzle itself. With 95 percent of the value in the top ten, the Blitzle card market is built on a handful of cards.
