Collector Insights

Raichu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 120 HP, featuring a retreat cost of two Colorless energy and a converted retreat cost of 2. Its primary attacks include "Nuzzle," which costs one Colorless energy and flips a coin to potentially Paralyze the opponent's Active Pokémon, and "Powerful Spark," requiring one Lightning energy to deal 20 damage multiplied by the number of Lightning Energy attached to all of your Pokémon. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. It belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Cosmic Eclipse set, released in November 2019, and is numbered 67 with a Rare rarity. The card's flavor text describes Raichu's aggressive behavior linked to internal electricity buildup, suggesting a connection between energy accumulation and stress. Artist AKIRA EGAWA designed the card, and it carries a dex number of 26. This Pokémon's strategic versatility is reflected in its balanced energy costs and impactful attack options.

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