Raichu 33/90 · HS—Undaunted

Raichu is Pokédex #026, generation 1 (Kanto). Raichu is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 80 HP. The card says it evolves from Pikachu. In this catalog that name is Pikachu (#025).

Raichu sits at 33/90 in HS—Undaunted, position 33 of 91. Before it is 32 Pinsir, and after it is 34 Raticate. The set belongs to the HeartGold & SoulSilver series. It was released on August 18, 2010. The printed size is 90. This checklist is longer, at 91 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Pain-full Punch lists 30 damage. The cost is Colorless. Spark is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. The flavor text reads "When its electricity builds, its muscles are stimulated, and it becomes more aggressive than usual."

Raichu (#026) has 70 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 52 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Raichu 14/102 in Base (1999). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 58 other cards of Raichu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

HS—Undaunted set binder is where a full HS—Undaunted set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Raichu can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
