Raichu [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Raichu is part of Neo Revelation, the 2001 English set that introduced Shining Pokémon and was also the first main expansion without theme decks, giving even its regular rares a distinct place in WotC history.
Set Lore
Because Neo Revelation was released in English in both 1st Edition and unlimited printings, the 1st Edition stamp on this Raichu marks it as part of the scarcer first wave of one of the most memorable late-era Wizards sets.
Artist
For English collectors, this card is especially notable because Masako Yamashita’s first English Pokémon TCG cards debuted in Neo Revelation, making this Raichu one of her earliest English-era illustrations.
Card History
Raichu’s collector appeal is tied to one of the anime’s defining early moments, since Lt. Surge’s Raichu overwhelms Pikachu in “Electric Shock Showdown” and forces Ash to confront whether strength is worth evolving for.
Card History
On-card, this Neo Revelation Raichu captures classic high-risk Lightning gameplay: Lightning Strike can jump from 40 to 80 damage if you discard all attached Lightning Energy, a very aggressive payoff for the era.
