Collector Insights

Shining Raichu is a Pokémon card from the Neo Destiny set, featuring a Lightning type with 70 HP. Its attack, Thundersquall, requires two Lightning and two Water Energy to deal 40 damage. The attack targets a Benched Pokémon, inflicting 10 damage for each Water Energy attached to Shining Raichu, bypassing Weakness and Resistance for that target. The card’s flavor text describes the Pokémon collecting energy from the air when its cheeks’ electricity runs out. It has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy and a Fighting weakness that multiplies damage by two. The card was released in 2002 as part of the Neo series and is classified as a Rare Shining card. Artist Hironobu Yoshida designed the card’s illustration, which reflects its thematic connection to energy collection.

If the electricity in its cheeks runs out, it sticks its tail straight up and uses it to collect energy from the air.
