Collector Insights
Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon from the POP Series 5, released in March 2007 as card number 12. It has a Common rarity and is illustrated by artist Naoyo Kimura. The card features a base HP of 50 and requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. Pikachu has no resistances but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its attacks include Lightning Ball, a single Lightning Energy cost move that deals 10 damage, and Thunderbolt, a more powerful attack requiring two Colorless and one Lightning Energy to deal 50 damage. The Thunderbolt attack also includes an effect that discards all Energy cards attached to Pikachu during resolution. The card’s design and mechanics align with its role as a straightforward Electric-type Pokémon in the TCG. This version of Pikachu reflects its original Pokémon Center design, emphasizing its iconic status in the franchise.
