Collector Insights

Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 60 HP. It requires one Colorless Energy to retreat. The card features two attacks: Tail Whip, which costs one Colorless Energy and flips a coin to prevent the defending Pokémon from attacking during the opponent’s next turn, and Electro Ball, a two-Energy move dealing 30 damage. Pikachu has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, but is weak to Fighting-type attacks, taking double damage. The flavor text describes Pikachu raising its tail to scan surroundings, occasionally struck by lightning in this stance. Artist Naoki Saito designed the card, part of the XY series released in May 2015 as part of the Roaring Skies set. It carries the Pokédex number 25 and is classified as a Common rarity card with the number 20 in its set. The card’s design and mechanics align with its thematic connection to electricity and its role in the Pokémon world.
