Collector Insights

Pichu is a Baby Pokémon from the Base series, featured in the Wizards Black Star Promos set released in 1999. It is a Lightning-type card with 30 HP and a Promo rarity, numbered 35 in the set. The card’s artwork is by Ken Sugimori, and its theme color is a warm earth tone. Pichu’s sole attack, "Let's Play!", uses one Colorless energy to search the player’s deck for a Baby Pokémon card, placing it on the Bench and shuffling the deck afterward. This ability cannot be used if the Bench is full. Additionally, if Pichu is the Active Pokémon and an opponent attacks, the attacker flips a coin, ending their turn if tails. The card’s flavor text describes Pichu as inexperienced with storing electricity, potentially releasing a jolt when startled or amused. Its design and mechanics align with its role as a foundational Pokémon in the series.

It is not yet skilled at storing electricity. It may send out a jolt if amused or startled.
