Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon from the Black & White series, featured in the Boundaries Crossed set released in 2012. It has 60 HP and requires one Colorless energy to retreat. The card includes two attacks: Pika Punch, which costs a single Lightning energy and deals 10 damage, and Double Voltage, a more powerful move that uses two Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 40× damage. The latter attack involves flipping two coins, with the damage multiplied by the number of heads. Pikachu has no resistances and is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card’s flavor text describes Pikachu using an electric shock to recharge a weakened fellow Pikachu, highlighting its supportive role.
