Description
Released in 1999 as part of the Pokémon Fossil set, this Raichu trading card holds a prominent place in the first generation of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. Identified as card number 14, this Lightning-type Stage 1 evolution showcases the creature that evolves from Pikachu. The holo rare treatment gives this card its distinctive shimmering surface, making it a visual standout for collectors building their early era collections. In gameplay, Raichu brings 90 hit points to the field, allowing it to withstand significant damage. Its signature move, Gigashock, enables players to target multiple opponent Pokémon simultaneously, dealing 10 damage to three benched Pokémon after choosing them. This strategic capability makes the card mechanically interesting for players and collectors alike. Designed by Mitsuhiro Arita, the card captures the essence of the Pokémon universe during this pivotal period. For those interested in the history of the franchise, adding this release to a collection offers a tangible connection to the origins of the beloved monster-catching hobby.

Choose 3 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and this attack does 10 damage to each of them. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If your opponent has fewer than 3 Benched Pokémon, do the damage to each of them.
Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.
