Collector Insights
Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 70 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It has two attacks: Thunder Wave, which costs a single Lightning energy and flips a coin to potentially paralyze the opponent’s Active Pokémon, and Electro Ball, requiring three energy (Lightning and two Colorless) to deal 50 damage. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type moves with double damage. Designed by artist kirisAki, this Promo rarity card belongs to the Sun & Moon series, specifically the SM Black Star Promos set, released on February 3, 2017. Itsdex number is 25, and it is numbered 4 in the set. The flavor text hints at a plan to harness Pikachu’s power for an electric energy project. This card’s strategic versatility stems from its ability to disrupt opponents while delivering direct damage.
A plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant.
