Where it came from
Raichu V (045/172) was released in early 2022 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion Brilliant Stars. This set marked a significant entry in the Sword & Shield series, introducing the VSTAR mechanic to the game. The card features Raichu, the evolved form of Pikachu, depicted in a dynamic, high-energy pose typical of the V-series aesthetic, which emphasizes powerful attacks and holographic foiling to highlight the rarity and combat utility of the card.
The artwork for this particular card was produced by illustrator Eske Yoshinob. The design reflects the modern style of the Sword & Shield era, utilizing intense saturation and digital effects to convey Raichu’s electric type. Upon release, the card was received well by players and collectors alike, valued for its gameplay mechanics in the TCG meta as well as its status as a foundational Rare Holo V card within one of the most popular sets of the generation.
