Raichu [1999-2000] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Fossil Raichu is one of the set’s non-holo rares, making it a classic WotC-era chase for collectors who love playable vintage cards without the foil premium.
Set Lore
Fossil was the third English Pokémon TCG expansion, released on October 10, 1999, and it helped complete the original 150 Pokémon in card form for early collectors.
In-Game
Raichu has been part of the franchise since Pokémon Red and Blue, where it debuted as Pikachu’s evolved form, giving this card instant nostalgia from the series’ very first generation.
Artist
The artwork is by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the original Pokémon TCG illustrators who has worked on the card game since its inception, which gives this Raichu extra appeal for fans of foundational Pokémon art.
Cultural Impact
Raichu’s Pokédex lore says its long tail acts as a ground to protect it from its own electricity, and that exact flavor is echoed on this card’s vintage flavor text, tying the collectible directly to early game canon.
