Collector Insights
Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 60 HP. It features two attacks: Quick Attack, which costs one Colorless Energy and deals 10+ damage, flipping a coin to potentially add 10 extra damage, and Thunderbolt, requiring two Lightning and one Colorless Energy to deal 80 damage while discarding all Energy from the Pokémon. The card has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. Its flavor text highlights its tendency to store electricity and the perilous nature of forests inhabited by Pikachu due to frequent lightning strikes. The card was released in the Sun & Moon series as part of the SM Black Star Promos set on February 3, 2017. It is a Promo rarity card with the number 227 in the set. The artwork is credited to the 2019 Pikachu Project, and it has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy.
Its nature is to store up electricity. Forests where nests of Pikachu live are dangerous, since the trees are so often struck by lightning.
