Collector Insights

Flying Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 40 HP. It features two attacks: Thundershock, which costs one Lightning energy to deal 10 damage and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon, and Fly, requiring three Colorless energy to deal 30 damage while granting a defensive effect that prevents all attack effects, including damage, for the next turn if a coin flip results in heads. The card has a resistance to Fighting-type attacks, reducing damage by 30. It is part of the Platinum series, released in the Rising Rivals set on May 16, 2009, and is illustrated by artist Toshinao Aoki.
