It includes two attacks: Plasma, which costs one Colorless energy and deals 10 damage, and Shock Bolt, requiring two Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 60 damage. The Plasma attack allows Raichu to flip a coin if Lightning Energy cards are in the discard pile, potentially attaching one to itself. The Shock Bolt attack discards all attached Lightning Energy cards before dealing damage, rendering it ineffective otherwise. Raichu has a Fighting weakness multiplied by two.

Artist Atsuko Nishida designed the card, which is classified as Rare and has no resistances or additional abilities.
