Collector Insights

Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 50 HP. It appears in the EX series, specifically the Team Magma vs Team Aqua set, released on March 1, 2004. The card is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori. Pikachu has two attacks: Agility, which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin, preventing all effects of an attack during the opponent's next turn if heads, and Thundershock, which requires one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and potentially paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card has no resistances but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, dealing double damage. Its retreat cost is one Colorless energy. Pikachu is classified as a Common rarity card and corresponds to Pokémon Dex number 25. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its role as a versatile Electric-type battler within the game’s tactical framework.
