Boasting 90 HP and a powerful attack called Gigashock, this Raichu can deliver 30 damage and target up to three of your opponent’s Benched Pokémon, dealing 10 damage to each—bypassing their Weakness and Resistance. This strategic ability made it a valuable asset in early gameplay formats, offering both offensive reach and field control. The card has been released in both 1st Edition and Unlimited versions, with the 1st Edition print run being particularly prized due to its limited availability. While it carries a single Colorless retreat cost, its lack of Resistance and vulnerability to Fighting-type attacks are important considerations in deck building.

Over the years, Raichu (29/62) has become more than just a gameplay card—it's a piece of Pokémon history. Whether found in its original non-holo form or graded in mint condition by services like CGC, this card continues to attract attention from collectors worldwide. High-grade 1st Edition copies often fetch premium prices at auction, reflecting their rarity and cultural significance. Whether you're a longtime fan or a new collector exploring the roots of the TCG, adding Raichu from the Fossil set to your collection is a step back into the golden age of Pokémon.
