Its attacks

Spark

20

Does 10 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon (1 if there is only 1). (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.)

Kerzap

40+

Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 40 damage plus 40 more damage to the Defending Pokémon and discard all Lightning Energy cards attached to Raichu.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  3. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,811 tournament lists we have read, 875 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
