Pikachu-EX
Oracle Text
Attack Thunder Shock (30): Flip a coin. If heads, your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Attack Mega Thunderbolt (160): Discard all Energy attached to this Pokémon.
Card Details
Character Background
Pikachu-EX from XY Black Star Promos is a compact but explosive Lightning attacker that best supports an aggressive tempo plan: pressure early, threaten a knockout, and force awkward responses before your opponent stabilizes. Thunder Shock is deceptively useful at 30 damage because the coin-flip Paralysis can steal turns, buying you the tempo needed to set up Mega Thunderbolt’s massive 160 damage finisher. The drawback is real—you discard all attached Energy—so this card works best in decks built to recycle Lightning Energy efficiently, such as lists using Energy acceleration and recovery to keep the attack stream flowing. Pair it with cards that can reload Energy quickly after the sweep, and consider gust effects or status support to maximize the value of the Paralysis window. In practice, Pikachu-EX is not a slow value engine; it is a fast, punishing closer that rewards proactive sequencing and smart resource timing.
