This 1999 Pikachu card is a classic piece from the Pokémon TCG Base Set (often listed as the original “Pokemon Game”). It features Mitsuhiro Arita’s illustration of a chubby Pikachu with glowing, yellow-highlighted cheeks set in a twilight forest scene. As a Shadowless print (with no drop-shadow on the yellow frame), it comes from the earliest Wizards of the Coast releases, adding to its collectible appeal. The unique “Yellow Cheeks” variant is a known printing quirk that makes this trading card a nostalgic favorite for vintage Pokémon collectors.
