Provenance

Where it came from

The Pokémon GO expansion for the Pokémon Trading Card Game was released in July 2022 as a collaborative set between the Pokémon Company and Niantic. Designed to commemorate the popular mobile augmented reality game, this set features cards themed around the interactive elements of Pokémon GO, such as photo-bombing encounters and various field research tasks. This specific Pikachu card depicts the mascot in a dynamic, open-world aesthetic consistent with the mobile game's signature visual style.

The card was illustrated by artist Hitoshi Ariga, a long-time contributor to the Pokémon TCG known for his ability to blend expressive character design with functional game layouts. By placing Pikachu in a setting that mirrors the augmented reality encounter screen from the mobile app, Ariga aimed to bridge the gap between the physical card game and the digital user experience. Upon release, the set was noted by collectors for its unique art direction and its integration of digital-first design principles into the traditional card format.
