Raichu is Pokédex #026, generation 1 (Kanto). Raichu is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 110 HP. The card says it evolves from Pikachu. In this catalog that name is Pikachu (#025).

Evoshock is listed as Ability. When you play this Pokémon from your hand to evolve 1 of your Pokémon during your turn, you may leave your opponent's Active Pokémon Paralyzed.

Raichu (#026) has 70 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 51 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Raichu 14/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 65 other cards of Raichu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Burning Shadows set binder is where a full Burning Shadows 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.
