Every Tadbulb card

The short version

Tadbulb has three printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across three expansions — the earliest in Fantastical Parade and the most recent in Paradox Drive. It is a Basic Lightning-type Pokémon printed at between 50 and 60 HP, weak to Fighting, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to two rarities — two Commons and one Shiny. The hardest to pull is the Shiny from Paradox Drive, at about 1 in 279 packs, or 1,000 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 643 packs, which is about 11 months at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of the Paradox Drive, Paldean and Gardevoir packs. The most recent is Tadbulb #096, from an expansion that shipped in May 2026. That printing attacks with Charge. The card’s own words: “It floats using the electricity stored in its body. When thunderclouds are around, Tadbulb will float higher off the ground.” It has been drawn by three artists.
