Item Description

Base Set 2 gave the earliest Pokémon cards a second life in 2000, folding the original Base Set and Jungle into a single 130-card collection, and Raichu came along with its holo and its gamble-everything attitude intact. It is an 80 HP Stage 1 Lightning Pokémon that evolves from Pikachu, built around two very different attacks.

Agility, for one Lightning and two Colorless Energy, does 20 damage, and on a heads it prevents all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Raichu during your opponent's next turn. Thunder, for three Lightning and one Colorless, hits for a hefty 60, but on tails Raichu does 30 damage to itself. It is weak to Fighting. Few cards sum up the coin-flip suspense of Wizards-era Pokémon better than this one, where a single flip can leave Raichu untouched or singed by its own lightning.

This is the Base Set 2 printing, collector number 16/130, a holofoil illustrated by Ken Sugimori. Its Pokédex entry explains that Raichu's long tail serves as a ground to protect it from its own high-voltage power. For collectors building a full run of the Wizards of the Coast era sets, the Base Set 2 holo is its own distinct card and a natural companion to the original Base Set Raichu.
