Provenance

Where it came from

The Pikachu-EX card, numbered XY124, was released in 2016 as part of the XY Black Star Promos series. It was specifically distributed within the Pikachu-EX Legendary Collection box, a set intended to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Pokémon franchise. This era of the trading card game focused on high-powered 'EX' mechanics, which featured powerful Pokémon with increased HP and complex attack requirements, reflecting a shift toward faster and more aggressive competitive play.

The card features artwork by illustrator Eske Yoshinob, a recurring artist known for their dynamic use of light and color in the series. Yoshinob designed this version of Pikachu with a vibrant, high-energy aesthetic, emphasizing the electrical discharge characteristic of the character. The card was well-received by collectors and competitive players alike, as it became a staple of anniversary-themed releases that sought to bridge the gap between long-time fans of the original games and newer players entering the scene during the franchise's two-decade milestone.
