Description
As a Basic Pokémon with 60 HP, this Lightning-type card is a staple for many trainers. The card's design, illustrated by artist sui, presents a recognizable depiction of the electric mouse. In gameplay, Pikachu offers the Lightning Pika Ball attack for 10 damage or the powerful Mega Shot, which discards all attached Lightning Energy to deal 40 damage to an opponent's Pokémon. With a modest retreat cost of 1, this card balances offensive potential with strategic energy management. Including this Pikachu card in your collection adds a piece of Pokémon TCG history from the late 2000s era. Whether you are completing a set or focusing on specific characters, this card represents a key part of the Arceus expansion.

Attack: Pika Ball (10)
Attack: Mega Shot
Discard all Lightning Energy attached to Pikachu and then choose 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. This attack does 40 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)
