Raichu GL
Rotated OutA lightning-powered Raichu that targets the back line with precision.
What this card does
Thunder Throw lets you choose two of your opponent's Benched Pokémon and deal 10 damage to each.
Repeat Lightning deals at least 30 damage and adds 10 more for every damaged Pokémon on the bench.
Repeat Lightning
Does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each of your opponent's Benched Pokémon that has any damage counters on it. (30+ damage)
The card shines by bypassing the usual protection rules for Benched Pokémon. This allows you to chip away at multiple targets quickly without worrying about their Weakness or Resistance.
