07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Tag Team GX from Unified Minds (2019) pairing Kanto Raichu with Alolan Raichu; the #221 alternate art is the coveted full-art version.
  • Unified Minds Tag Team alt arts are among the most popular Sun & Moon-era chase cards, and this one leads all modern Raichu prints at around $310 raw.
  • Big, board-filling artwork makes it a display favorite well beyond dedicated Raichu collectors.
  • The marquee modern card for a complete Raichu-line collection.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: Situational

TAG TEAM GX Raichu with 260 HP and a top attack near 150 damage. Ultra-rare Raichu variants like this occasionally turned up in constructed decks during their era, though seldom as a deck's centerpiece.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Tandem Shock Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Colorless · 80+ damage

If this Pokémon was on the Bench and became your Active Pokémon this turn, this attack does 80 more damage, and your opponent's Active Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

Lightning Ride-GX Cost: Lightning + Lightning + Colorless · 150+ damage

Switch this Pokémon with 1 of your Benched Pokémon. If this Pokémon has at least 2 extra Lightning Energy attached to it (in addition to this attack's cost), this attack does 100 more damage. (You can't use more than 1 GX attack in a game.)

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern ultra/secret rare; PSA 10 populations are moderate and grading is common for higher-value pulls.

PSA 10 copies have realized roughly $1,288 (PriceCharting realized, May 2026). Full-art Tag Teams are prone to edge whitening and surface scratches on the textured foil, so gem-mint examples carry a healthy premium over raw.

Other graders: CGC and BGS both grade modern ultra-rares; PSA leads on resale liquidity.
