Collector Insights

Raichu is a Lightning-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, featured in the Unbroken Bonds set released on May 3, 2019. It has a Rare rarity and a 120 HP value, requiring two Colorless Energy to retreat. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. Raichu possesses two attacks: "Never Give Up" and "Head Bolt." The "Never Give Up" attack can only be used if the player has at least three more Prize cards remaining than their opponent, allowing them to attach all Lightning Energy cards from their discard pile to their Pokémon. The "Head Bolt" attack costs two Lightning Energy and one Colorless Energy, dealing 110 damage. The card’s flavor text describes Raichu’s behavior as becoming more aggressive due to internal electricity buildup, which may cause stress. Artist Shin Nagasawa designed the card, and it is numbered 55 in the series.

As electricity builds up inside its body, it becomes more aggressive. One theory is that the electricity buildup is actually causing stress.
