Dear Pojo personnel,

Your Pokèmon site is my favorite Pokèmon web site.  It has all of the
latest information on the Pokèmon TCG, the cartoon show, and the video
games.  I hope you like this article and decide to post it.

Over the Martin Luther King weekend, I purchased two booster packs.  One
was Base and the other Fossil.  In each, I found a holographic Raichu.
Since I have an electric deck, I was going to include one in my deck.
But, I was trying to decide which one was better. 

Here's a look at each:

Base Raichu:
       Pluses:
one energy retreat cost
Agility can prevent all effects of attacks on your next turn
Thunder does 60 damage
great attacks    
                          Minuses:
Agility only does twenty damage
Thunder can do 30 damage to Raichu
Base Raichu has 10HP less than Fossil Raichu
Base Raichu is always a holographic card

Fossil Raichu:
        Pluses:
10 more HP than Base Raichu.
one energy retreat cost
Gigashock can do 10 damage to three of your opponent's
Benched Pokèmon
not always a holographic card
                          Minuses:
Gigashock only does twenty damage
Fossil Raichu is a rare card
Base Raichu has a higher damage attack

Both Raichus are good, in a way.  Base Raichu can do 120 to most water
Pokèmon and can possibly prevent being hit by attacks.  Fossil Raichu is
a
great Bench destructor. 

If you have questions, complaints, comments, or anything else, feel free

Sincerely,
Star Mario
