Collector Insights

Raichu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 100 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy. Its abilities include the attack "Energize," which allows attaching a Lightning Energy card from the discard pile to itself, and "Spark Bolt," a high-damage move that deals 70+ damage if all attached Energy is discarded. The card resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. Raichu’s design is attributed to artist Ken Sugimori, and it belongs to the XY series, released in the Evolutions set in 2016. The card’s flavor text highlights its ability to generate electric charges strong enough to potentially incapacitate large animals. It requires one Colorless Energy to retreat and has no listed regulations or additional rules. Raichu’s unique combination of Energy interaction and damage boost makes it a notable card in its set.

Its electric charges can reach even 100,000 volts. Careless contact can cause even an Indian elephant to faint.
