Collector Insights

Raichu is a Pokémon with 80 HP, featuring two distinct attacks. The first attack, Agility, requires one Lightning and two Colorless energies to deal 20 damage. When used, it prompts a coin flip; if heads, Raichu prevents all attack effects, including damage, during the opponent's next turn. The second attack, Thunder, costs three Lightning and one Colorless energy for 60 damage. A coin flip determines if Raichu inflicts 30 damage to itself when this attack lands. The card is part of the Expansion Pack set, released on October 20, 1996, and is classified as a Rare Holo variant. It is illustrated by Ken Sugimori, known for his detailed Pokémon artwork. The card’s theme color is a muted earth tone, reflecting its electric-type association. This version of Raichu holds the number 38 in its set.
