5 facts about this card
This Prerelease Pichu is a stamped version of HeartGold & SoulSilver #28, and HGSS-era Prerelease cards are especially distinctive because they switched from the old "PRERELEASE" text stamp to the expansion logo on the artwork.
Pichu’s HeartGold & SoulSilver card became memorable in play because its zero-Energy Playground attack could flood both Benches at once, while Sweet Sleeping Face made the tiny Baby Pokémon surprisingly hard to damage if it stayed Asleep.
For Johto collectors, this card hits a nostalgic sweet spot because Pichu itself was introduced in Generation II as Pikachu’s baby form, making it one of the emblematic new species tied to Pokémon Gold and Silver.
Pichu has an extra HeartGold & SoulSilver connection beyond the TCG, since the games feature the unique Spiky-eared Pichu form that appears only in those Johto remakes.
The card’s artwork is credited to match, whose soft, playful illustration style fits Pichu perfectly and helps sell the card’s deceptively cute "fill the Bench and fall asleep" personality.
