Pikachu Card Facts & History
5 facts about this card
Card History
This Pikachu is part of the 2009 Arceus expansion, a Platinum-era set built around Arceus with over 100 cards and multiple Arceus variants, giving even its commons a strong connection to one of the era’s biggest themes.
Card History
Pikachu’s attack pair on this card is a fun bit of TCG history: Bulbapedia notes that Pika Ball first appeared on EX Emerald Pikachu, while Mega Shot debuted earlier on Manectric ex from EX Deoxys.
In-Game
The flavor text on Pikachu from Arceus is lifted from the Pokémon Platinum Pokédex, tying this common directly to the Sinnoh game era that surrounded the Platinum-series cards.
Artist
This card was illustrated by sui, whose soft, storybook-like style gives this Platinum-era Pikachu a gentler personality than many of the franchise’s more action-heavy Pikachu cards.
Cultural Impact
Even as a common, this card features Pokémon’s mascot, a character introduced in Pokémon Red and Blue that became the face of the franchise worldwide, which helps give even modest Pikachu prints lasting collector appeal.
