#241 Pikachu - Cosmic Eclipse (sm12)
Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It includes two attacks: Nuzzle, which costs one Lightning energy and has a 50% chance to paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon, and Volt Tackle, requiring three energy (two Lightning and one Colorless) to deal 70 damage while inflicting 10 damage to itself. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type moves with double damage. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, released in the Cosmic Eclipse set on November 1, 2019. The card’s flavor text highlights its natural affinity for storing electricity, noting that forests inhabited by Pikachu are often struck by lightning. Artist Hitoshi Ariga designed the card, and it carries a Rare Secret rarity. The Pokémon’s type and abilities align with its thematic connection to electrical phenomena.
