Raichu [Cosmos Holo] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Cosmos Holo version turns an otherwise uncommon Next Destinies Raichu into a collector-favorite variant, because the main set checklist lists Raichu #40 as a standard uncommon while the blister-exclusive holo treatment gives it a distinctly different chase feel.
Set Lore
Raichu sits in Black & White—Next Destinies, the 2012 expansion that reintroduced Pokémon-EX to the TCG, so this card comes from the same set that helped define the BW-era power jump collectors still remember.
In-Game
Its flavor text is lifted straight from Raichu’s Pokédex history, echoing the Platinum-era entry that says its tail discharges electricity into the ground to keep Raichu from shocking itself.
Cultural Impact
Raichu carries extra franchise weight because it is Pikachu’s original evolved form from Pokémon Red and Blue, making any Raichu card feel like a snapshot of the series mascot finally reaching its full power.
Artist
Naoki Saito had already become a standout Pokémon TCG illustrator by the BW era, and his vivid, high-contrast style gives this Raichu the kind of energetic personality that many collectors now actively chase by artist alone.
