Description

Pikachu (np-12 Holofoil) is a Basic Lightning Pokémon promo from the Nintendo Black Star Promos set. It has Agility, a one-colorless-cost attack that can prevent effects of attacks if you flip heads, and Thundershock, a Lightning+Colorless attack that deals 20 damage and may Paralyze the Defending Pokémon on heads. With a single retreat cost and Fighting weakness, it functions as a low-cost, lightweight attacker and status enabler in early-game or token strategies.
