==Release information==
This card was included as a Holofoil and Non Holofoil in the {{TCG|Expedition Base Set}}, first released in the {{TCG|Base Expansion Pack}} in Japan. The Non Holo print of this and six other cards were part of a test run by [[Wizards of the Coast]] before the expansion was released. These prints all have "For Position Only" in white printed on the illuatration, "Medium" printed below the e-Reader symbol, a long e-Reader data strip, no "ID:" before the card ID, and a Wizards copyright instead of Nintendo. This card in particular has "PokéPower:" between the Poké-Power graphic and name, which forced the "Connect" text into the first line of the effect text. It matches the black, non-bold text.

==Trivia==
===Origin===
Lightning Strike's Japanese name is that of {{m|Bolt Strike}}, a [[move]] later introduced in the [[Generation V]] [[Pokémon games]]; however, {{p|Ampharos}} cannot learn it. This card's [[e-Reader]] Pokédex entry comes from {{game|Crystal}}.
