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 smp-SM227 can deal 10 damage, or 20 on heads, for just one Colorless Energy. Its 80-damage attack requires two Lightning Energy and one Colorless, then discards all Energy attached to Pikachu. 2019 Pikachu Project receives the illustration credit: maximum power consumes its resources.
