Raichu Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Base Set Raichu is one of the original English Pokémon TCG holo rares, appearing as card 14/102 in the very first main expansion released on January 9, 1999.
Set Lore
This card has extra collector mystique because Base Set Raichu is tied to the famous Wizards-era prerelease-stamp variant listed among the set’s corrected error cards.
In-Game
Both of this card’s attacks, Agility and Thunder, are drawn directly from moves Raichu can learn in the video games, and its Pokédex text is adapted from Pokémon Red and Blue.
Artist
The card feels especially authentic to early Pokémon history because Ken Sugimori both illustrated this Base Set Raichu and helped finalize Raichu’s original character design for the 1996 games.
Cultural Impact
Raichu carries a special place in franchise lore as Pikachu’s original evolved form from Pokémon Red and Blue, making this holo a snapshot of the very first generation’s electric powerhouse before later forms and evolutions expanded the line.
