Where it came from
The Pikachu card numbered 28/73 was released in 2017 as part of the Shining Legends expansion, a special sub-set within the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This set was unique for its focus on Shiny Pokémon and legendary creatures, standing out as a collector-focused release that was not sold in standard booster boxes but rather through specialized collection boxes and blister packs. Its inclusion of the franchise mascot, Pikachu, served as a accessible entry point within an otherwise high-rarity focused set.
The design of this specific card features artwork by illustrator Kouki Saitou, who is a staple contributor to the Pokémon TCG. Saitou’s approach to this card emphasizes a gentle, everyday moment for the character, opting for a clean, vibrant aesthetic that aligns with the established visual identity of the Sun & Moon era of the game. Upon its release, the card was widely received by players as a charming common rarity staple, valued more for its expressive personality than for competitive utility.
