#48 Pikachu - BREAKthrough (xy8)

Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon from the XY series, featured in the BREAKthrough set released on November 4, 2015. It has 60 HP and a Common rarity, with artwork by Kouki Saitou. The card’s flavor text describes its small electric sacs on both cheeks, which release charges when threatened. Pikachu has two attacks: Gnaw, which costs a Lightning Energy and deals 10 damage, and Agility, requiring two Colorless Energies to deal 10 damage while flipping a coin to potentially prevent all effects of attacks during the opponent’s next turn. It resists Metal-type attacks by 20 and is weak to Fighting-type attacks with double damage. The Pokémon has a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy. Its design emphasizes speed and electric-based abilities, aligning with its thematic attributes. The card’s rules and regulations are unspecified, but its gameplay mechanics focus on mobility and defensive counterplay.
