Collector Insights
Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Thunder Wave, which costs one Lightning energy and has a 50% chance to paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon, and Electro Ball, requiring three energy (Lightning and two Colorless) to deal 50 damage. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type moves with double damage. Designed by artist kirisaKi, this card is part of the McDonald's Collection 2017 set released in November 2017. Its flavor text references a plan to harness Pikachu’s power for an electric energy project. The card’s resistance to Metal and vulnerability to Fighting highlight its strategic role in battles. It belongs to the "Other" series and is classified as a Pokémon with no additional supertypes or abilities listed.
A plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant.
