Collector Insights
Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 50 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Agility, which costs one Colorless energy and allows the player to flip a coin, preventing all effects of an attack during the opponent’s next turn if heads, and Thundershock, which requires one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 20 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card has no resistances and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. It was released as part of the Nintendo Black Star Promos series in October 2003 and is classified as a Promo rarity card. The artwork was created by artist Kouki Saitou, and the card is numbered 12 in its set. Its design emphasizes speed and electric-based strategies through its unique abilities.
