Where it came from
The Pikachu V card, numbered SWSH198, was released as part of the Sword & Shield Black Star Promos set. It was originally distributed in 2022 as a special inclusion within the Pokémon TCG: V Powers Tin. These promotional releases were designed to highlight the V mechanic introduced in the Sword & Shield era, which featured powerful Pokémon with high hit points and unique gameplay abilities that significantly altered the competitive landscape of the card game.
The card features artwork by illustrator Atsushi Furusawa, who has contributed numerous pieces to the Pokémon Trading Card Game. His design captures Pikachu in a dynamic, high-energy stance, utilizing the glossy, holographic finish characteristic of V-series cards to emphasize the electric theme. Upon its release, the card was well-received by players and collectors alike for its accessible acquisition method and its utility as a reliable, albeit standard, electric-type attacker in the evolving meta of the time.
