Trivia

Origin

Spark is a move in the Pokémon games, though Raichu could not learn it by any means prior to Generation VI. Kerzap is an attack that first appeared on Lt. Surge's Raichu from Gym Challenge, although its Japanese name is different. This card's e-Reader Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Sapphire.
