5 facts about this card
This card is especially collectible because the same Raichu artwork from Arceus #27 was also issued as the official Platinum—Arceus Prerelease promo with the stamped Prerelease logo.
Raichu [Prerelease] is tied to Platinum—Arceus, the final main expansion of the Platinum Series, giving it a direct link to the dramatic close of the era before HeartGold & SoulSilver took over.
The Arceus expansion was released in English on November 4, 2009 and was created in anticipation of the movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life, so this promo sits right at the intersection of late-Platinum TCG and major Gen IV movie hype.
Its illustrator, Suwama Chiaki, is known for soft shading and light colors in the Pokémon TCG, which gives this Raichu a gentler, storybook look than many of the franchise’s more aggressive Lightning-type cards.
Raichu’s long-standing collector appeal comes from its place in Pokémon history as Pikachu’s original evolved form, debuting in Pokémon Red and Blue as part of the very first generation of Pokémon.
