Collector Insights
Raichu is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori, part of the Pokémon Web set released in October 2001. The card is classified as a Rare rarity and carries the number 36 in its set. It has 80 HP and is categorized under the Pokémon supertype. Raichu possesses two distinct attacks: Agility and Thunder. The Agility attack costs one Lightning and two Colorless energy, dealing 20 damage while flipping a coin to potentially prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, during the opponent's next turn if the result is heads. The Thunder attack requires three Lightning and one Colorless energy, inflicting 60 damage but involves flipping a coin where tails trigger Raichu to deal 30 damage to itself. The card's design emphasizes strategic trade-offs between offensive and defensive capabilities, reflecting its dual-purpose mechanics. Its inclusion in the Pokémon Web set highlights its role as a versatile card within the early TCG expansion. The combination of these abilities underscores Raichu's thematic connection to electricity-based combat.
