Raichu PSA 10 Japanese Pokemon Cards: Every Japanese Print Compared

Raichu Card Names, Stage, HP and Weakness

Every plain ライチュウ row is a Stage 1 card (1 進化) with the database type electric and a Fighting weakness of ×2. HP on the plain rows is 140 on SV2D and SVD; 130 on MC, SV5M, SI, S6a, SA and S8a-G; 120 on SV2a, SV4a, S12, S10a, SM11b and SM9a; 110 on SM4p and SM3N; 100 on CP6; and 90 on XY, CP3, CP4, 20th and SNPr 002/010.

The other forms differ in stage and rule text. ライチュウV (Raichu V) in S9 is a Basic card (たね) with 200 HP and the Pokemon V rule: when it is Knocked Out, the opponent takes two Prize cards. ライチュウGX (Raichu GX) is a Stage 1 card with 210 HP in SM3p, SML and SMH, and the GX rule also gives the opponent two Prize cards. ライチュウBREAK (Raichu BREAK) in SNPr is a BREAK Evolution with 130 HP, whose rule text says it keeps the attacks, Abilities, weakness, resistance and retreat of the Raichu it evolved from.

The tag-team card ライチュウ&アローラ ライチュウGX (Raichu & Alolan Raichu GX) is a Basic card with 260 HP, Fighting weakness ×2, Metal resistance −20 and a retreat cost of 2; when a TAG TEAM is Knocked Out, the opponent takes three Prize cards. アローラ ライチュウ (Alolan Raichu) appears on two rows, SM10a 010/054 and SM4A 016/050, each with 110 HP.

Rows under the SM, XY, CP, 20th and SNPr 002/010 codes print a Metal resistance of −20, which the SV, S, SI, SA and MC rows do not carry. Retreat costs run from 0 on the XY, CP3, CP4 and 20th rows to 2 on rows such as SI 128/414, S6a 027/069 and SM11b 017/049, so the row itself is the place to read the cost.

Raichu & Alolan Raichu GX in SM10a

The database lists three Raichu & Alolan Raichu GX rows in SM10a, with three different credits: the RR 008/054 by Mitsuhiro Arita, the SR 056/054 by ConceptLab and the SR 057/054 by tetsuya koizumi. Our listing names the set GG End, and our listing name adds “SA” to the 057/054; “SA”, “1ED” and “Master Ball Mirror” are our listing’s wording, not database terms. A dedicated print guide covers the 057/054 card: Raichu and Alolan Raichu GX SA 057/054 Card Guide.
