#41 Raichu - Burning Shadows (sm3)

Raichu is a Lightning-type Pokémon with 110 HP and a retreat cost of one Colorless energy. It features the ability Evoshock, which allows the player to evolve one of their Pokémon during their turn while potentially leaving the opponent’s Active Pokémon Paralyzed. The card’s primary attack, Volt Tackle, requires two Lightning and one Colorless energy to deal 130 damage, with an additional 30 damage inflicted to itself. Raichu resists Metal-type attacks by 20, making it less vulnerable to certain strategies. Its weakness to Fighting-type attacks is doubled, emphasizing the need for careful play. The card is part of the Sun & Moon series, specifically the Burning Shadows set, released on August 5, 2017. Artist Kagemaru Himeno designed the card, which highlights Raichu’s electric power through its flavor text. The Pokémon’s design reflects its association with high-voltage shocks, capable of causing significant disruption in battle.
