Every Chinchou card

The short version

Chinchou has five printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across four expansions — the earliest in Wisdom of Sea and Sky and the most recent in Promo A. It is a Basic Lightning-type Pokémon printed at between 60 and 70 HP, weak to Fighting, with a retreat cost of 1. Every printing is a Common. A Common has no rare-slot rate to quote — it fills the slots every pack is guaranteed to have, so opening the right expansion at all will turn one up. The printings come out of the Vol. 11, Pulsing Aura, Deluxe and Lugia packs. The most recent is Chinchou #095, from an expansion that shipped in October 2024. That printing attacks with Luring Glow. The card’s own words: “Its antennae, which evolved from a fin, have both positive and negative charges flowing through them.” It has been drawn by three artists, Miki Tanaka more than anyone else with three cards.
