How to get Pikachu ex
Choose the Pikachu booster within Genetic Apex; the pack name is more specific than the expansion name. Match A1 and collector number 96 when checking the card. The denominator 226 is its printed standard-set numbering, not a total including secret cards. A later expansion containing the same Pokémon name can be a separate effect or a reprint. Use the table to compare pack availability before spending resources on a particular booster.
Pikachu packs in Genetic Apex (A1); C1 Dual Fusion Pikachu packs have a new Pikachu ex.
How this Pikachu ex printing works
Circle Circuit deals 30 damage per Benched Lightning Pokémon: three eligible Bench Pokémon give 90, while an empty Bench gives zero. Bench composition is part of the attack. This 120 HP Basic ex is A1 Pikachu ex; recommendations for the different Dual Fusion printing do not automatically apply.
Basic Lightning ex with 120 HP. The A1 printing uses Circle Circuit; Dual Fusion (C1) adds a different Pikachu ex, so the pack answer depends on the printing.
Deck choices and printing differences
Use the Electric deck library and budget lists to compare support cards. These are browsing routes, not a claim that every deck includes this printing. Exact inclusion is established by the 20-card lists and their cited sources.
The printing table separates collector records, including alternate artwork where the database records it separately. A repeated name alone does not establish an identical attack or Ability. Match set, number, and printed effect before substituting cards. For rarity restrictions and eligibility, see the trading guide; being listed in a pack does not guarantee that every version can be traded.
