Collector Insights

Raichu ex is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of 0. It includes the ability Rai-shield, which reduces damage done to any of your Raichu ex in play by attacks from your opponent's Pokémon-ex by 30, though this effect cannot be used more than once per turn. The card offers two attacks: Power Short, which deals 30 damage to a chosen opponent's Pokémon and adds 20 damage if that Pokémon has Poké-Powers, and Pika Bolt, a more powerful attack that deals 70 damage with a cost of four Colorless and one Lightning energy. Raichu ex is part of the EX series, released in the Emerald set on May 1, 2005, and carries a Rare Holo EX rarity. Its primary weakness is to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card also includes a rule stating that if a Pokémon-ex is knocked out, your opponent takes 2 Prize cards. Designed by artist Mitsuhiro Arita, this card emphasizes Raichu ex's role in strategic damage control and high-impact attacks.
