Collector Insights
Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 60 HP, featuring a retreat cost of 1 Colorless energy. It boasts two attacks: Tail Whap, which costs 1 Colorless energy to deal 10 damage, and Thunder Shock, requiring 1 Lightning and 1 Colorless energy to strike for 20 damage while potentially paralyzing the opponent’s Active Pokémon. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type moves, which deal double damage. Its design is part of the Sun & Moon series, specifically the SM Black Star Promos set, released in February 2017. The card’s flavor text references a plan to harness Pikachu’s electricity for a power plant, highlighting its thematic connection to energy. Artist Saya Tsuruta created the illustration, and the card carries a Promo rarity designation. It is numbered 98 in the series and listed in the Pokédex as entry number 25.
A plan was recently announced to gather many Pikachu and make an electric power plant.
