CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Pikachu's electricity is not only used to drive off opponents. When two Pikachu meet, they may touch tails and exchange electricity as a greeting. The gesture turns an impressive power into a sign of closeness. Behind the sparks and charged cheeks lies a way of getting acquainted that belongs to this small forest-dwelling Pokémon.

Background on the species in the video games; its forms and card versions may have appeared later.

A detail worth noticing

Pikachu's electric sacs crackle when it is on guard, the description explains. Its attack deals 30 damage. Additional Paralysis occurs only if this Pikachu evolved from Pichu during the same turn: on this printing, the precise timing of Evolution changes the attack's effect.
