Provenance

Where it came from

The 2021 McDonald's Pokémon TCG promotion was released to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. This specific Pikachu card, numbered 25/25, served as a celebratory Holofoil inclusion within the 25-card set that featured starters and iconic Pokémon from every region in the series history. It was distributed inside Happy Meal boxes at participating McDonald's locations globally, sparking significant collector interest due to the accessibility and nostalgia surrounding the anniversary branding.

The design of this Pikachu utilizes artwork originally commissioned for earlier sets, adapted to fit the 25th-anniversary frame. The card is characterized by a distinct celebratory logo and the holographic treatment typical of the promotion's chase cards. While the set was intended for a younger demographic, the combination of the iconic Pikachu mascot and the limited-time availability led to widespread secondary market activity, with the card becoming a recognizable piece of modern Pokémon memorabilia.
