Attacker

Strategy & play

How Pachirisu plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.

A Basic — hits the board turn 1 with no evolution tax.
Inflicts Paralysis — the Defending Pokémon can’t attack or retreat for a turn. A reliable one-turn lock; chain it to stall the opponent out.
Its main attack (Thundershock) needs 2 Energy — a turn-2 swing on manual attachment.
Needs Lightning Energy to attack — your line must supply that color.
Lightning type, weak to Fighting ×2 — a Fighting attacker doing ≥35 effectively one-shots it.
A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.

How to beat Pachirisu

Exploit its Fighting weakness — ≥35 damage one-shots it.
On the receiving end of a condition? Retreat, switch, or evolve to wipe it — conditions only stick to the Active.

Frequently asked

How can I tell if my Pachirisu is real?

Pachirisu is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
