Launched in 1999 as part of Wizards of the Coast’s Pokémon League Promo series, this Pikachu #1 card is a nostalgic piece of early Base Set–era Pokémon TCG history. Illustrator Keiji Kinebuchi’s artwork depicts a chubby 3D-modeled Pikachu set against a shimmering ivy-leaf holofoil background, giving this Basic Lightning-type Pokémon a unique charm. Marked with a black star “Promo” symbol (instead of a set icon), the holofoil card lists classic early-game attacks Growl and Thundershock. Collectors appreciate this vintage Pikachu trading card for its early-era design and nostalgic appeal.
