Trivia

Origin

Tail Slap is a move later introduced in the Generation V Pokémon games that Pikachu cannot learn; however, the Japanese names do not match, making this attack and the move unrelated. Quick Attack is a move in the Pokémon games that Pikachu can learn. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon SoulSilver.
