Provenance

Where it came from

The Raichu card from the BREAKthrough expansion was released by The Pokémon Company International in November 2015 as part of the wider XY series. This set introduced the BREAK Evolution mechanic to the trading card game, which featured cards with a unique horizontal landscape orientation and a gold-foiled holographic texture designed to signify a specialized evolution stage.

The card features artwork by illustrator Mitsuhiro Arita, a veteran artist in the franchise known for his foundational work on the original Base Set. Arita’s approach to this card emphasizes Raichu’s agility and electric typing, utilizing dynamic lighting and a focused composition to capture the character in mid-motion, consistent with his long-standing aesthetic influence on the visual evolution of the Pokémon TCG.
