• Type: Lightning ⚡
• HP: 200
• Stage: Basic

⚡ Ability & Attack

Ability: Resolute Heart

Attack: Topaz Bolt – 300 Damage

🧠 Strategy & Playstyle

• Use Resolute Heart to absorb a big hit and stay in play

• Features iconic mascot Pikachu
• Strong demand among collectors and competitive players

⚔️ Why It Stands Out

• One of the hardest-hitting Basic Pokémon ex
• Unique survival mechanic
• Perfect balance of power and strategy
