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 xy12-35 can use Gnaw for 10 damage or Thunder Jolt for 30. In the latter case, tails also causes it to do 10 damage to itself. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card: the coin determines Pikachu's recoil rather than the 30 damage dealt to the opponent.
