#202 Pikachu - XY Black Star Promos (xyp)

Pikachu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 50 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features two attacks: Charge, which allows the player to search their deck for a Lightning Energy card and attach it to Pikachu before shuffling their deck, and Thunderbolt, a powerful move that costs three Lightning energy, deals 70 damage, and discards all Energy attached to Pikachu. The card has a resistance to Metal-type attacks, reducing damage by 20, and is weak to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. Pikachu’s flavor text describes its ability to generate electricity that can lead to lightning storms when multiple Pokémon gather. It was released as a Promo rarity card in the XY series, specifically in the XY Black Star Promos set, on October 12, 2013. The card is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori and is part of the broader Pokémon Trading Card Game’s XY expansion. Its design emphasizes its role as a versatile Electric-type Pokémon with strategic energy management capabilities.
