#24 Dark Persian - Miscellaneous Promos (unnumbered-promos)

Pikachu is a Pokémon card featuring artwork by Ken Sugimori, part of the Unnumbered Promos set released on October 15, 1996. The card has 50 HP and a themecolor of #c1b268. It includes two attacks: Recharge, which costs one Lightning Energy and allows the player to search their deck for a Lightning Energy card to attach to Pikachu before shuffling their deck, and Thunderbolt, which requires three Lightning Energy to deal 50 damage while discarding all Energy cards attached to Pikachu. The Recharge attack emphasizes resource management by enabling players to replenish their Energy supply, while Thunderbolt serves as a direct damage option with a specific condition. Both attacks highlight Pikachu’s association with Lightning Energy, reflecting its thematic role in the Pokémon TCG. The card’s design and mechanics align with its foundational status in the series, offering strategic versatility through its Energy-based interactions. Its inclusion in promotional sets underscores its significance as a classic Pokémon representation.
