Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: Recharge, which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin, searching their deck for a Lightning Energy card to attach to Pikachu if heads, and Thunderbolt, requiring four energy (two Lightning and two Colorless) to deal 100 damage while discarding all Energy attached to Pikachu. The card has a Metal resistance of -20 and a Fighting weakness of +10. It was released in the HGSS Black Star Promos set from the HeartGold & SoulSilver series on February 10, 2010.
