5 facts about this card
Card History
Fossil Raichu is one of the few early WotC cards released in both holofoil and non-holofoil forms, giving collectors two distinct vintage chase versions of the same Lightning powerhouse.
Set Lore
This card comes from the Fossil expansion, the third English Pokémon TCG set, which gave Raichu a place in one of the hobby’s most nostalgic early-era releases.
Card History
Raichu’s Gigashock attack could hit the Bench at a time when spread damage was far less common, making this card feel unusually tactical for the WotC era.
Artist
The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the original Pokémon TCG illustrators whose paintings helped define the visual identity of the game from the very beginning.
In-Game
Its flavor text is lifted from the original Pokémon Red and Blue Pokédex entry, tying this card directly back to Raichu’s first-generation video game roots.
