RAICHU CARDS GUIDE (JP VER.?How do you tell Raichu cards apart?Check the number and rarity letters in the bottom corner (e.g. 057/054 SR). Promo numbers end in -P (e.g. 114/DP-P). The earliest cards (1996–2001) have no number — use the set symbol and rarity mark.)
FIRST RAICHU · OCT 20, 1996?Raichu was a holo rare in the first Japanese Pocket Monster card game Base Set, released October 20, 1996 — over two years before the English TCG.

JAPANESE RAICHU CARD CHECKLIST

[24 RAICHUS] 1996 BASE SET HOLO TO 2023 ART RARE

Raichu has appeared on more than 55 different cards since the 1996 Base Set: as a holo rare, a Dark and a Shining Pokémon, a Pokémon ex, a LV.X, a GX and a V — but never a VMAX. These 24 are the Japanese prints collectors look for. The 5 marked ★ are the ones to look for first: the 1996 no-rarity holo, Shining Raichu, Raichu ex 023/053, the Raichu & Alolan Raichu-GX Special Art 057/054 and the Raichu AR 074/071.
