# Lightning Energy #18/30 — HS trainer Kit (Raichu)

## Summary

Lightning Energy from the Raichu trainer kit is a basic energy that was never meant to be chased, handed to new players as part of a ready-to-play starter. Its only pull is completion: anyone assembling the full Raichu kit needs it, and everyone else walks past. At a $1.00 modelled guide, with no copies traded in 30 days, 87% of this printing’s price is collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Mega Evolution Energy; no PSA population is on file.
