Pikachu and Raichu from SM3!

Oh look, it’s everyone’s favorite electric rodents! They will be part of Japan’s SM3 sets, named Did You See the Fighting Rainbow? and Light-Consuming Darkness. The sets will will be released in Japan on June 16th and in America as Burning Shadows in September.

This is the first regular Raichu of the Sun & Moon era. Thanks goes to Bangiras for the translations!
