Alolan Raichu is a Pokémon TCG card from the Sun & Moon series, part of the SM Black Star Promos set released in February 2017. It features a Lightning type and a base HP of 110, with a Retreat Cost of two Colorless Energy. The card includes an ability called Surge Surfer, which eliminates its Retreat Cost if any Stadium card is in play. Its primary attack, Psychic, requires three Colorless Energy and deals 70+ damage, with an additional 20 damage multiplied by the number of Energy attached to the opponent's Active Pokémon. Alolan Raichu has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The card's flavor text notes its evolution in the Alola region, linked to dietary changes affecting its form. It is a Promo rarity card, designed by artist Akira Komayama, and is numbered 72 in the series. This card emphasizes strategic play through its ability and attack mechanics, offering versatility in battle scenarios.
