Raichu 28/111 · Furious Fists

Raichu is Pokédex #026, generation 1 (Kanto). Raichu is a Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon with 90 HP. The card says it evolves from Pikachu. In this catalog that name is Pikachu (#025).

Raichu sits at 28/111 in Furious Fists, position 28 of 114. Before it is 27 Pikachu, and after it is 29 Electabuzz. The set belongs to the XY series. It was released on August 13, 2014. The printed size is 111. This checklist is longer, at 114 cards. The listed rarity is Uncommon.

The attack Thunder Shock lists 30 damage. The cost is Lightning, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Electro Ball is another attack lists 80 damage. The cost is Lightning, Lightning, Colorless. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 1. 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 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 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Sanosuke Sakuma illustrated this one. 55 other cards of Raichu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sanosuke Sakuma. I count 158 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Furious Fists set binder is where a full Furious Fists 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.
