# Electabuzz (Japanese) #26 — Intro Pack (Bulbasaur)

## Summary

Electabuzz stands arms flexed on a sandy shore in a plain framed picture, its black-striped yellow body set against a dark blue ocean and a pale sky with lightning bolts crackling on both sides. The Japanese Intro Pack (Bulbasaur) carried it in July 1999 as part of a starter deck, so it came as a playable Lightning Pokémon rather than a rare, and that humble origin sets it apart from the booster-pack versions. The modelled guide sits at $40 with 1 copy traded in 30 days; PSA has slabbed 396 of these and 181 are 10s, a 46% gem rate, but no graded market has formed to price the slab.
