About the artwork
Raichu, a yellow mouse-like Pokémon, stands on its hind legs, facing forward with a happy expression. Its large, pointed ears, black-tipped, extend upwards, and its long, thin tail curves behind it. The background is a vibrant, dark blue-green with numerous sparkling, multi-colored specks, creating a dynamic, almost cosmic effect around the Pokémon.
