ZAPDOS CARDS GUIDE (JP VER.?How do you tell Zapdos cards apart?The earliest cards (Base Set to Neo, 1996–2001) have no card number, only the Pokédex No.145 — use the set symbol and rarity mark. Later cards show a number and rarity letters in the bottom corner (e.g. 204/165 SAR). Galarian Zapdos is a Fighting-type card.)
FIRST ZAPDOS · OCT 20, 1996?Zapdos was a holo in the first Japanese Pocket Monster card game Base Set, released October 20, 1996 — over two years before the English TCG.

JAPANESE ZAPDOS CARD CHECKLIST

[21 ZAPDOS CARDS] 1996 BASE SET TO 2026 30TH CELEBRATION

Zapdos has been in the Japanese card game since the 1996 Base Set. It has far fewer prints than Pikachu, so this list covers most of the ones worth owning: 21 cards from the 1996 holo to the 2026 30th Celebration Art Rare. The 5 marked ★ are the ones to look for first: the 1996 no-rarity holo, the Topsun gum card, the Moltres & Zapdos & Articuno-GX special art, the Galarian Zapdos V special art and the Zapdos ex SAR 204/165.
