This electrifying card offers two distinct approaches: the explosive Heartpounding Bomb that can knock out any opposing Pokmon (with a coin flip), or the more consistent Electric Ball, dealing 100 damage
Toss in resistances, box rules, Ability modifiers, defensive Tool cards, Stadiums, and probably at least three other things we're forgetting right now, and that 340 can seem like 680 or more
You can very quickly build a massive army of zombies, which synergizes with The Scarab God's abilities to drain your opponents
Now, that isn't close to what Charizard or some Pikachu cards sell for, but it's more than honorable for a creature as disrespected as Raichu is.
Mystic (makes this card their bitch) -Having a high amount of cancels, deny existence (especially level 5), slow draw and quantum flux, this class is not in the least bit concerned by this card
Who can forget Yugi torching the field of Weevil Underwood to remove the woodland field from his bugs to secure victory, or Mako Tsunami hiding his sea creatures underwater to prevent attacks
