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 that 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
Released in 1999 as part of the Pokémon Fossil expansion, this Raichu card was introduced as the second major set in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, following the Base Set and the Jungle expansion. The Fossil set was designed to introduce Generation I Pokémon that had not yet appeared in card form, focusing on prehistoric and subterranean creatures, though it also included non-fossil inclusions like Raichu to round out the Electric-type roster.
The card features artwork by Ken Sugimori, the primary illustrator and creative director for the Pokémon franchise. Sugimori’s signature watercolor-inspired style was central to the early aesthetic of the game, aiming to bridge the gap between the original Game Boy designs and the growing card game ecosystem. As a rare-tier card, it was a sought-after piece for players building competitive decks during the late nineties, celebrated for its grounded, classic visual design.
