Collector Insights

Raichu is a Lightning-type Pokémon from the POP Series 9 set, released in March 2009. It has 90 HP and requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. The card features two attacks: Slam, which costs two Colorless Energy and deals 30 damage multiplied by the number of heads from flipping two coins, and High Volt, a Lightning-type attack that costs three Lightning Energy and deals 60 damage, with a conditional boost to 100 if Raichu evolved from Pikachu during the turn. Raichu resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks by 20. The card’s flavor text highlights its ability to unleash 100,000-volt electrical bursts. Artist Midori Harada designed the artwork, and the card is classified as Rare. Its balanced mix of offensive and defensive mechanics reflects its role in competitive play.

It can loose 100,000-volt bursts of electricity, instantly downing foes several times its size.
