Provenance

Where it came from

Released in 2016 as part of the Generations expansion, this card was created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. The set served as a retrospective, featuring a subset known as the Radiant Collection, which highlighted Pokémon through whimsical, stylized illustrations that differed from the standard art found in main sets.

The card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is well known for his expressive and soft aesthetic. Saitou’s design for this Pikachu focuses on a vibrant, playful depiction intended to capture the character's energetic personality. Upon release, the Radiant Collection was well received by collectors for its unique card holofoil patterns and high-quality artistic contributions from veteran Pokémon TCG illustrators.
