Description

Raichu (sm3-41 League1st Place Stamp) is a Lightning-type Stage 1 Pokémon from the Burning Shadows expansion. It has the Evoshock Ability that can Paralyze your opponent's Active Pokémon when played from your hand to evolve, and a high-damage Volt Tackle attack that deals 130 damage but also inflicts 30 recoil damage to itself. Its single Colorless retreat cost and common Fighting weakness shape its defensive and matchup considerations in deck building.
