In America.......What about Gengar Prime?
Anyways, any pikachu related card is a 10/10 for me :thumb:
Also, Raichu looks awesome on this card.

That makes no sense, the power is part of the development, that's like saying you don't need to see uxie's power to understand how good it is. I mean how many cards are played because of their powers, if anything you need to see the power before anything else to understand how to asses it.you obviously just dont understand how bad this card is, do you. it is so bad, i honestly thought about not picking it in a draft granted i was running 5 pikachus and 3 uncommon raichus already... its definatly not good at all. i dont need to know what the power does to know that the rest of the card is so bad the power cant make up for it.
The worst prime in the set, next to Espeon. Just a bad card :/
4/10

Bronzong G - terrible
Uxie LA - Terrible
Azelf - Terrible (ok that attack is good, but not by itself)
Mesprit - Terrible
Luxray GL - Terrible
I mean the list goes on and on.
Luxray's attack without the power is terrible 60 for 1 and it does 30 to something on your bench from a basic lv.X? Atrocious. My point is that none of those cards would be remotely playable by just looking at their stats other than their powers. Which they aren't at all. Also, I didn't say Uxie X, I said uxie.for one, luxray gl's attacks are still good. its hp is bad, 1 for 30-60 and 2 for 70 is still good in this format. brongzong g's attack is 2 for 40 spread, decent. uxie la is good for 20 bottom/the lvl x can do a nice 60 for 2 colorless or a DCE and also hits for psychic weakness. azelf has an amazing lock attack, mesprit has bad attack. the only one in your list who's attack is terrible. These cards are played mainly because of there powers though dont get me wrong, so you can't really compare them with raichu, because there powers are what make the card. raichus power doesnt make the card, but imo it sure break its playability. they could have given it many different powers/bodies to make it more synergistic to itself/other lightning decks yet they did not.
i dont need to know what the power does to know that the rest of the card is so bad the power cant make up for it.
Or there's an unless? I thought we knew it was worthless already from the attacks and hp, but now there's a power that can possibly redeem it's atrocious stats? Point is you made a such an absurd statement as to say that it couldn't be redeemed by any power because it's stats are so badthis cards stats are so poor, there isnt a power to help make it better, unless its power was equivalent to electivire from sw, even if it was equivalent to electivire fb, it might be decent, which at this point i see as the best way to run this card since vileplume is now around it cant get sprayed.

are u kidding me? 60 for 1 is terrible? ill take 60 for 1 over 120 for 3 any day. even with the 30 on the bench regardless if its a lvl x or not. thats like saying 1 for 40/potential auto ko is horrible for a stage 2 like machamp, what kind of statement is that?
Oh so now we get to talk about Raichu's power? I thought it was so bad we didn't even need to notice it to know it was bad. Cause you see this is what you said:
I wasn't going to speak of its bad power until u decided to make uncompareably comparisons. ur comparing pokemon who are played mainly for there power over there attack. the card u listed usually do not have decks build around them. i have yet to see a succesful bronzong g/ azelf/ mesprit deck where they stand alone as the attacker. this card is taken to be a main attacker of a deck. and it will not do well.

of course if a good power can redeem it it would be playable, but lets be honest theres no power they could have given raichu, within balanced reasoning, to have made it good. however power or not the stats and attack are terrible enough to not play it. when i said i dont even need to know the power to not play this card, i meant there isnt a power within reason they could have given it to made the card playable. i own 3 of this thing i didnt read it until 3 weeks after the pr.
What if the power had been like let you attach energy from the discard pile to Raichu as much as you want? Seems like it's not so bad after that.
do u honestly think anything would be that broken? worse comeback ever.
Also, I have no idea why you're going on and on about how bad this card is to me. I gave it a 4/10. I don't think it's good either, the point was that you made such a ridiculous claim that made no sense
whatsoever.
its the internet, does one have to make sense all the time?
I mean 4 crobat drops 4 poketurns and 2 SSUs also KO raichu, and you don't even have to attack, why not mention that? The fact that the majority of these have to be belted should tell you that you're really reaching. Let's just stick to the fact that it's terrible at setting up, huh?This card is so bad it's not even funny. It gets OHKOed by:
Donphan(one energy!)
Belted Machamp(also one energy!)
Toxicroak G
LUCARIO GL
Belted Gyarados or Gyarados with flash bite
Belted GarchompWith 3 energy attached
Belted Luxray + Flash BiteOnce again with 3 energy attached and another in hand to discard
Belted Blaziken FB
Belted Steelix Prime5 energy attached, but I guess it is steelix...
Scizor Prime(with modest energy attachment)No not modest energy attachment, with FIVE energy attachments.
BELLOSSOMWith a whopping specific 4 stage 2s out.
Basically everything in the format. Its attack is awful. Easily one of the worst primes ever. Considering this was a very exclusive promo card in Japan, I'm not surprised that it is bad, as it would make it unfair to other players.
3/10
