Where it came from
Pichu 45/100 was released in 2008 as part of the Stormfront expansion, the final set of the Diamond & Pearl series in the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This card captures the Tiny Mouse Pokémon in an electric-type iteration, reflecting the aesthetic sensibilities of the late Diamond & Pearl era which favored clean, high-contrast digital illustrations common to the set's artistic direction.
The artwork for this card was created by Kouki Saitou, a prolific illustrator whose work has appeared on hundreds of Pokémon cards. Saitou’s style is known for its clarity and expressive character poses, and for this specific card, he emphasizes Pichu's playful and somewhat jittery nature. The card functions as a standard uncommon piece within the Stormfront set, which was notable for its inclusion of powerful Trainer cards and the introduction of high-HP Pokémon.
