Pikachu Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Set Lore
Pikachu’s Illustration Rare sits in Scarlet & Violet—151, the special expansion built around all 151 original Kanto Pokémon, which gives this card instant nostalgia appeal for collectors who started with the first generation.
Card History
This card is officially listed as #173 in the Scarlet & Violet—151 checklist, placing Pikachu among the set’s Illustration Rares rather than the main numbered run and making it one of the expansion’s showcase art pulls.
Artist
The artwork is by Hiroyuki Yamamoto, a Pokémon illustrator and character designer also credited as the sole artist for Pokémon Café ReMix, which gives this Pikachu a distinctive connection to modern Pokémon visual design beyond the TCG.
In-Game
Pikachu was first introduced in the original Pokémon Red and Blue games and became the franchise mascot, so pulling its Illustration Rare in a set dedicated to the original 151 feels like opening a direct tribute to Pokémon’s earliest era.
Cultural Impact
Few Pokémon carry Pikachu’s pop-culture weight: its mascot status, parade appearances, and decades of cross-media prominence help make any premium Pikachu card feel collectible far beyond normal set completion.
