Collector Insights

Flying Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 40 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Thundershock, which costs a single Lightning energy to deal 10 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Fly, requiring three Colorless energies to strike for 30 damage with a coin flip effect that either prevents all attacks next turn or nullifies the attack entirely. The card carries a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30. Designed by artist Toshinao Aoki, it belongs to the Base set released in 1999 as part of the Wizards Black Star Promos series. The card’s flavor text highlights Pikachu’s growth through learning to fly, overcoming its vulnerability to Fighting-type adversaries. Its themecolor is a muted earth tone, reflecting its thematic connection to aerial movement and resilience.

By learning how to fly, Pikachu overcame its weakness to Fighting Pokémon.
