#29 Raichu - Fossil (base3)

Raichu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 90 HP, featuring a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. Its sole attack, Gigashock, requires four Lightning energy to deal 30 damage to the defending Pokémon while also inflicting 10 damage to three of the opponent's Benched Pokémon, regardless of their Weakness or Resistance. The attack’s effect extends to all Benched Pokémon if the opponent has fewer than three, ensuring maximum impact. Raichu’s design incorporates a Pokédex number of 26 and is part of the Base series, released in the Fossil set on October 10, 1999. The card’s artwork is attributed to artist Mitsuhiro Arita, and its theme color is a warm gold tone. The Pokémon’s flavor text highlights its long tail as a protective feature against its own high voltage power. Raichu’s primary weakness is to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage.
