It's me again, and my Jolteon as well.  We'll be talking about my buddy's
rival, Lt.Surge's Raichu.
<Jolteon bristles up and growls>

The version of the card is from the "Gym Heroes" expansion.  First take a
look at its stats:

Lt. Surge's Raichu
Stage 1 -- Evolves from Lt. Surge's Pikachu
Lighting Pokemon
70 HP

LL-Mega Punch: 30
LLLL-Thunderbolt: 100
Discard all energy cards attached to Lt. Surge's Raichu in order to use this
attack.

Weakness: Fighting
Retreat: 2

As I look at this, I see that this card will be as overated as our friends
Charizard, Zapdos(Base), Blaine's Arcanine, and Lugia (Unless WotC makes it
a promo-only like Fossil Mew).  How do I know this, Top Deck Magazine was
already boasting about it KO'ing pokemon left and right!  Now Jolteon is in
an uproar! Hey!!! Watch it with the electricity!  It's first flaw is the low
HP, rivaling Dark Raichu as the Raichu with the lowest HP.  The second is
the retreat cost, even Dark Rai has a retreat of 1.  The 30 for 2 electric
may be good, but that last attack blows!  Base Zapdos handles it better
because it may actually still be alive to use it!!
<Jolteon has just learned that Lt.Surge's Jolteon is nowhere to be found..>
Jolteon: Jolt!!!! <It charges up and releases Pin Missiles everywhere>  I
shouldn't have told you anything!<I pull a spike out of my skin..Ouch!> 
That really peed it off.  Back to the pokeball you go, buddy.  Hopefully
Jolteon won't come out and go crazy over Brock's ZUBAT being rare.  Until
next time, the Saiyan of Death, Signing off!
