Abra [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
Abra’s lone attack, Psyshock, captures the original Base Set design philosophy perfectly: even a Common could threaten a status swing with a single Psychic Energy, giving this tiny Basic surprising early-game mischief.
In-Game
This card’s flavor text about reading danger and teleporting to safety mirrors Abra’s long-running game identity, including main-series moments where Abra is literally used to teleport the player home in Gold, Silver, Crystal, and HeartGold and SoulSilver.
Card History
Abra’s anime Pokédex entry emphasizes that it sleeps for eighteen hours a day while still using psychic power, which makes this sleepy Base Set card feel even more faithful to how mysterious Abra was presented on screen.
Artist
This Abra was illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, one of the defining visual architects of early Pokémon TCG history, so collectors see it as part of the same foundational art era that gave Base Set its unmistakable look.
Set Lore
As card #43 in Base Set, this 1st Edition Abra belongs to the very first main English Pokémon TCG expansion released on January 9, 1999, and its shadowless 1st Edition printing ties it directly to the hobby’s opening chapter.
