5 facts about this card
Card History
Lt. Surge's Raticate is one of the classic Gym Heroes cards that tied a Pokémon directly to its Trainer, giving collectors an early taste of the character-driven card style that made the Gym era so memorable.
In-Game
Its lone attack, Super Fang, is pulled straight from the video games, where Raticate can learn the move—making this card feel like a faithful translation of Gen I battle tactics onto cardboard.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, the original Pokémon character designer, which gives this uncommon a direct visual link to the franchise’s earliest official art style.
Set Lore
Gym Heroes was released in English on August 14, 2000 as the sixth Pokémon TCG expansion, so a 1st Edition copy of Lt. Surge's Raticate comes from one of the defining early WotC-era nostalgia sets.
Card History
Lt. Surge became unforgettable to many fans through the anime episode "Electric Shock Showdown," where his overwhelming power and evolved Raichu helped cement his tough, intimidating image across the franchise.
