Collector Insights

Raichu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its primary weakness is to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card includes two attacks: Thundershock, which costs one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Lightning Strike, requiring three Lightning energy to deal 40 damage, with an optional effect that increases damage to 80 if all attached Lightning Energy cards are discarded. Raichu’s design is attributed to artist Masako Yamashita, and it belongs to the Neo series, released as part of the Neo Revelation set on September 21, 2001. The flavor text describes the Pokémon’s electric pouches charging to stand its ears straight, reflecting its thematic connection to electricity. The card’s themecolor is a golden-brown shade (#d5ba56), aligning with its Lightning-type identity. Raichu is classified as a Rare card with the number 21 in its set.

If the electric pouches in its cheeks become fully charged, both ears will stand straight up.
