Where it came from
The Pikachu V card, numbered 157/172, was released in 2022 as part of the Pokémon Trading Card Game expansion titled Brilliant Stars. This set was notable for introducing the Trainer Gallery subset, which featured artwork highlighting the connection between iconic Pokémon and their trainers. As a Rare Ultra card, this specific iteration of Pikachu was designed to offer players a powerful electric-type option for competitive decks during the Sword & Shield era.
The artwork for this card was illustrated by Atsushi Furusawa, who opted for a dynamic, high-energy aesthetic that emphasizes Pikachu's signature electrical abilities. By utilizing the V mechanic, the design focuses on higher hit points and intensified attack damage, fitting the established meta-game standards of the time. Upon its release, the card was widely received by collectors and players alike, serving as a staple piece for those looking to round out their Brilliant Stars collection with a recognizable fan favorite.
