Character: Raichu Set: Base Set Shadowless Series: Base Set Card Number: 14/102 Rarity: R Condition: N/A Grade: Raw Year: 1999 Illustrator: Ken Sugimori Type: Character  Raichu (14/102) from the Pokémon Base Set Shadowless edition is a Lightning-type Stage 1 Pokémon with 80 HP, illustrated by Ken Sugimori. This Holo Rare card is part of the original 1999 English Base Set released by Wizards of the Coast and is highly sought after due to its early print run and scarcity. Unlike the more common Unlimited version, the Shadowless edition lacks the subtle drop shadow along the right edge of the artwork frame, giving it a distinct, flatter visual appearance that collectors use to identify it. The card features two classic attacks: Agility, which deals 20 damage and includes a coin flip to prevent damage on the opponent’s next turn if successful, and Thunder, a powerful 60-damage attack that risks 30 self-damage on a tails flip.. With a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy and a weakness to Fighting-type Pokémon, Raichu embodies the high-risk, high-reward playstyle that defined early Pokémon TCG gameplay. Its nostalgic design and strategic utility make it a favorite among veteran players and collectors alike. As one of the transitional print runs between the 1st Edition and Unlimited sets, the Shadowless Raichu is rarer than its Unlimited counterpart but more accessible than 1st Edition cards. Graded copies, especially in high condition, command strong market prices and are prized for their historical significance in the evolution of the Pokémon TCG.
