2025 Pokemon Company Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos Illustration Contest 2024 Pikachu

This is Pikachu, the iconic Mouse Pokémon (No. 0025), featured as part of the Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 promotional series from the Scarlet & Violet era. Illustrated by Kazuki Minami, the artwork captures a delightful, painterly scene of Pikachu sitting outdoors on stone pavement, looking upward with its mouth open amid warm golden foliage. The card's flavour text on the front reads: "When it is angered, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks." The back displays the classic Pokémon card design — a Poké Ball surrounded by a swirling vortex on a deep blue background. A Basic Lightning-type with 60 HP, its sole move is Unwind, which heals 20 damage from itself. A charming promo piece for collectors and fans alike.
