The card includes a Poké-Power ability called Baby Evolution, allowing the player to evolve Pichu by placing a Pikachu from their hand onto it and removing all damage counters.

Pichu resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with a 10 boost. The card’s flavor text describes its electric sacs as prone to leaking electricity, causing shocks. It is numbered 25 and classified as a Rare card in the English language edition.
The electric sacs in its cheeks are small. If even a little electricity leaks, it becomes shocked.
