Pikachu

Description

Pikachu card number 049/195 from the 2022 Silver Tempest expansion remains a foundational piece for Pokémon Trading Card Game collectors. As a Basic Lightning-type Pokémon, this card serves as a critical component for building decks that utilize the Lightning energy system. Designed by artist Souichirou Gunjima, the card captures the electric essence of the subject while adhering to the set's broader design language. With 70 Hit Points, Pikachu offers a balanced presence on the battlefield. Its primary ability, Lightning Pika Strike, deals 20 plus 20 more damage for each Lightning energy attached. This attack becomes particularly potent when paired with Dedenne, capable of dealing up to 180 additional damage if Dedenne used Dede-Short during the previous turn. This synergy makes it a strategic choice for collectors interested in the tactical depth of the game. For those focused on set completion, securing every card from Silver Tempest is a common goal among hobbyists. This release is a key piece in that journey, offering both nostalgic appeal and functional utility. Whether you are assembling a personal collection or looking to enhance your competitive arsenal, this card represents a significant part of the Silver Tempest landscape. The inclusion of regulation mark F ensures it remains valid within current play standards, adding to its long-term relevance for dedicated players and investors alike.
