#221 Raichu & Alolan Raichu-GX - Unified Minds (sm11)

Raichu & Alolan Raichu-GX is a Lightning-type Pokémon from the Sun & Moon series, released in the Unified Minds set on August 2, 2019. It has 260 HP and requires two Colorless Energy cards to retreat. The card features a Rare Ultra rarity and is illustrated by artist Tetsuya Koizumi. It includes two attacks: Tandem Shock, which deals 80+ damage and paralyzes the opponent's Active Pokémon if this Pokémon was on the Bench and became Active this turn, and Lightning Ride-GX, which allows switching with a Benched Pokémon and deals 150+ damage. The Lightning Ride-GX also grants an additional 100 damage if the Pokémon has at least two extra Lightning Energy attached beyond its attack cost. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. A rule states that when your TAG TEAM is Knocked Out, your opponent takes 3 Prize cards. This Pokémon combines the traits of both Raichu and its Alolan variant, reflecting its dual identity in the game.
