What it does
Choose 3 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and this attack does 10 damage to each of them. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) If your opponent has fewer than 3 Benched Pokémon, do the damage to each of them.
Its long tail serves as a ground to protect itself from its own high-voltage power.

Where it came from
The Raichu card from the 1999 Fossil expansion served as the second major set release for the Pokémon Trading Card Game in English. Following the massive success of the Base Set, the Fossil expansion was designed to introduce players and collectors to the diverse roster of Pokémon found within the Kanto region’s safari zone, focusing heavily on prehistoric or fossil-themed creatures.
Illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, a foundational artist for the franchise, this card features Raichu in a dynamic, stylized pose consistent with the high-energy aesthetic of early TCG design. As a holo-rare pull, it remains a nostalgic centerpiece for collectors who grew up during the initial Pokémon craze of the late 1990s, valued both for its status as a Stage 1 evolution of the iconic Pikachu and for the distinct holographic foil pattern that defined the era's trading cards.
