Provenance

Where it came from

The Pikachu card numbered SWSH234 was released in 2022 as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos set. It was distributed specifically as an inclusion in the Pokémon TCG: Pikachu V Box, a themed product designed to highlight the franchise's iconic mascot during the Galar region era of the trading card game. The card features a distinct illustration by artist Kouki Saitou, who opted for a vibrant, energetic pose that emphasizes the character's signature electric typing.

Kouki Saitou has been a long-standing contributor to the Pokémon TCG, known for his ability to capture the personality of Pokémon through dynamic color palettes and clean linework. This specific design was intended to provide fans with a fresh, accessible iteration of Pikachu during the Sword & Shield release cycle. Upon its debut, the card was well received by the collector community, particularly among fans of the franchise who prioritize mascot-focused artwork and the specific aesthetic consistency established across the Black Star Promo series.
