About this card
This is the classic Japanese Base Set Raichu Holo Rare, featuring the iconic Mitsuhiro Arita artwork of a cheerful Raichu against a sparkling holographic background. As card No.026, it is one of the original 1996 Japanese Base Set holos, predating the international release. The card showcases Raichu at LV.45 with 90 HP and the Giga Spark attack. A beloved piece of early Pokémon TCG history with strong nostalgic and collector appeal.
