Pikachu - 005/SM-P

I normally don’t really cover Japanese cards here on Pocket Scout, but I made an exception for this one. Sapporo’s Pikachu (005/SM-P) is one of the most epic and prestigious Holiday cards I know of! Let me tell you a little more about this card.

Most of you probably won’t be able to translate what text is on the card. The translation for this card’s name is“Sapporo’s Pikachu”.

This card was released as a Sun & Moon promo card in Japan. It was handed out to customers who purchased at least 5 booster packs from any Pokémon Center, Store or Pokémon Center Online to celebrate the reopening of the Pokémon Center Sapporo on December 1, 2016.

The Japanese promos are always true bangers, and this one is no exception. There is so much happening in the scene that you can be mesmerized for hours! The Alolan Vulpix wearing an adorable cape with a flower on its ear, Pikachu wearing a scarf and a knitted hat, Popplio balancing a snowball on its nose… The list goes on and on!

The illustration for this card fits the scene perfectly. Kawayoo did an amazing job creating a beautiful story in the right colors. I highly suggest you take some time to inspect the scene. Let yourself be surprised about all the little details you’ll find in this card.

Since this card cannot be found in the wild, eBay is gonna be your best bet to add this prestigious card to your collection!
