Pichu [1st Edition] Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This holo Pichu is one of the signature Baby Pokémon of Neo Genesis, the set that introduced the Baby Pokémon mechanic to the English TCG and helped make the Neo era feel completely different from Base, Jungle, and Fossil.
In-Game
Pichu itself was a brand-new Generation II Pokémon from Pokémon Gold and Silver, created as Pikachu’s baby pre-evolution, so this card captured one of Johto’s biggest reveal moments right as the franchise expanded beyond the original 151.
Card History
For anime fans, Pichu made an especially memorable early impression through the Pichu Brothers short "Pikachu & Pichu," where Pichu debuted alongside several other baby Pokémon and tied the species directly to Pikachu’s wider story.
Artist
The artwork is by Ken Sugimori, Pokémon’s original character designer, which gives this card extra collector appeal because it pairs one of Johto’s newest stars with art from one of the franchise’s most foundational creators.
Set Lore
Because Neo Genesis was released in English in both 1st Edition and unlimited printings, the 1st Edition stamp on this holo marks it as part of the earliest English wave of one of the most beloved vintage Johto sets.
