This squirrel... Very lame, very unplayable, waste of card etc... But still cute for young chicks. Agreed with Pokepop :p
 
Here is a good lesson for many of you newer players: Any time PUI/POP releases multiple copies of a Pokemon via promo cards, it is almost GUARANTEED that every single one of those cards will be atrocious. Pachirisu is a perfect example of this lameness. He wouldn't be so easy to get if the card was actually good.
 
It may not be powerful, it may not be tough, it may not even have an evolution, but it sure is cute!

95/100 for cuteness.
 
There may be something to the squirrel. True, Fighting Weakness. But... 20 quick damage. Vs Empoleon and other major Water decks, that can be an early lead. I view it as Lighting Riolu - beat down. Errand-Running is more of a mid-game attack when you need Rocky... er... Pachirisu.. to stall while you get set back up.

Modified - 7/10 for speed and higher HP (which could help vs an early Kricket).
 
I'll give a serious review:

Pros:
Good HP
Super Effective against Empoleon and Feraligatr
20 for one energy
Has a resistance
Basic

Cons:
Does damage to itself
Retreat is one too high
Resistance is useless
Weak to the worst type to be weak to
No evolutions
First attack is nearly pointless since it requires an energy to get an energy...

Obviously, don't play it. 1.47/10.00 modified.
 
Pachirisu is the "Pikachu" of the 4 Generation of Pokemon, meaning it's cute and cuddly, but doesn't do much outside of that. Decent HP for a Basic (70), the usual Electric Weakness to Fighting and Resistance to Steel, and one Retreat Cost. It can either search your deck for a basic Energy via Minor Errand Running or deal light damage with Thunder Jolt, which also may do 10 damage recoil to you.

Modified - 1/10 (No real reason to play this)
Limited - 8/10 (Great HP for a Basic, so it can live a while here)
Unlimited - 1/10 (Definately no real reason to play him here)
 
nice hp. nice type for all those empoleons. cheap attack for 20 is good. weakness for 20 is not cool.
mod: 6/10. if there was an evolution for this guy. that'd be great.

btw. the ken sugimori art is the best.

my god i want to prove you wrong.

i think something has come up that is being looked over... it has 70 hp, and is a basic! believe it or not, that is really good! 20 for 1 energy is actually quite good. it spams energy, it has 70 hp, chances are, you attach an energy to it then you get another one, it could last long enough to get 3 energy out, which also greatly thins your deck. ever thought of him as well as scramble juice?

i won't rate it cause i don't like that idea of rating a card, but i'll say it has alot of overlooked potential.
 
It's HP is nice. It's attack should have been energyless. The Thunder Jolt should have done 30 damage. Now it's worse than a Machop. Weakness is bad. Resistance is good.

4/10
