#18 Arcanine - Miscellaneous Promos (unnumbered-promos)
Pikachu is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori, part of the Unnumbered Promos set released in 1996. It has 60 HP and includes two attacks: Growl and Thundershock. Growl costs one Colorless Energy and reduces damage by 10 if the defending Pokémon attacks during the opponent’s next turn, though this effect ends if either Pokémon is benched. Thundershock requires two Lightning Energy, deals 20 damage, and has a 50% chance to paralyze the defending Pokémon. The card’s theme color is a warm beige (#cbc174), reflecting its design aesthetic. It holds the number 18 in its set and is classified as a Pokémon supertype. The card’s abilities emphasize defensive disruption and electric-based offensive potential. Its rarity is unspecified, but it remains a notable entry in early Pokémon TCG history.
