A classic 1999 Pokémon TCG Base Set card, this Basic Lightning-type Pikachu (40 HP) features original art by Mitsuhiro Arita, showing the iconic mouse Pokémon in a sunlit forest setting. The non-holo card (Base Set #58/102) uses a playful illustration style with bright yellow accents—most notably Pikachu’s unusually yellow cheek spots, a known variant printing that collectors seek out. As part of Wizards of the Coast’s original launch set, it carries nostalgia for early Pokémon TCG players, complete with Pikachu’s familiar moves Gnaw and Thunder Jolt. This vintage trading card is prized by collectors both for its classic artwork and its status as a unique “Yellow Cheeks” edition of Pikachu.
