Ampharos is card #78 of Lost Thunder (2018), a Rare Holo Pokémon, illustrated by Satoshi Shirai.
Ampharos appears in 25 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Lost Thunder (2018) #78 card is one of 25 printings spanning 1999–2026. Satoshi Shirai only illustrated this Lost Thunder version; other printings credit Hajime Kusajima, Naoki Saito, Masakazu Fukuda. Other Ampharos printings sit at Promo, Rare, Rare Prime, Illustration Rare rarity tiers, so this Rare Holo Lost Thunder card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 150 HP, while other Ampharos cards in the catalogue range from 80 to 160 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Ampharos hub page.

“The tail's tip shines brightly and can be seen from far away. It acts as a beacon for lost people.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #181
The 1 in 75 pull chance is calculated from the Lost Thunder rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Ampharos Lost Thunder #78 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $1.65 USD, which puts it in the common-bulk bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 150 Pack Dust from the Lost Thunder dust pool, which fills as you open Lost Thunder packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Ampharos or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
