Electivire Diamond and Pearl 3/130
Electivire's first card has a neat effect that tried to make Baby Pokémon more relevant post-Neo series. Intense Voltage only worked if Elekid was "anywhere under Electivire", meaning that it had Evolved all the way up from the Baby Pokémon. The Poké-Power allows you to move any Lightning Energy on your Pokémon to Electivire.
Giga Impact does a decent 60 damage but doubles to 120 if you Discard all Lightning Energy. This was really strong for the time and could Knock Out most Pokémon. Unfortunately, this is a huge Energy cost and only really works as a final attack. Just like how Iron Leaves ex works in 2026, you could use Intense Voltage to take all Energy from your weakened Pokémon to take a final, otherwise impossible, Knock Out.
The sad part about Electivire is that it's completely awful if you didn't Evolve it from Elekid. Four Energy is far too much without the Poké-Power. With Elekid, it's now a Stage 2 and not quite worth the cost.
