Raichu [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Raichu’s Fossil holo is one of the earliest English cards to showcase bench pressure, with Gigashock letting you hit three Benched Pokémon at once in the original Wizards-era game.
Set Lore
As a 1st Edition holo from Fossil, this card comes from the Pokémon TCG’s third main English expansion, released on October 10, 1999, which gives it a special place in the formative WotC era collectors chase.
Artist
This Raichu was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the foundational artists of the Pokémon TCG who has contributed artwork since the game’s earliest days, making his WotC holos especially iconic to longtime collectors.
In-Game
The card’s flavor text echoes Raichu’s original Pokédex identity from Pokémon Red, where its long tail is described as a ground that protects it from its own high-voltage power.
Cultural Impact
Raichu has always carried a unique bit of Pokémon history as Pikachu’s fully evolved form, giving this early holo extra nostalgia because it represents the stronger evolution of the franchise’s mascot line.
