#87 Pikachu - Base Set 2 (base4)
Pikachu is a Pokémon card from the Base Set 2 series, released in February 2000. It is numbered 87 and classified as a Common rarity card. The Pokémon belongs to the Lightning type and has 40 HP. Its retreat cost requires one Colorless energy, and it has no resistances. Pikachu features two attacks: Gnaw, which costs one Colorless energy to deal 10 damage, and Thunder Jolt, which uses one Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 30 damage. The latter attack includes a rule where a coin flip determines if Pikachu inflicts 10 damage to itself. The card’s flavor text describes how groups of these Pokémon can generate powerful electrical storms. It has a weakness to Fighting-type attacks, which deal double damage. The artwork was created by artist Mitsuhiro Arita. The card’s theme color is a warm shade of tan, represented by the hex code #d2b862.
