Detective Pikachu SM170 Cosmos Holo Sun & Moon Promos

The Detective Pikachu card, numbered SM170, is a highly sought-after Black Star Promo from the Sun & Moon series of the Pokémon TCG. This Basic Lightning-type Pokémon features 90 Hit Points and showcases the iconic Detective Pikachu character from the 2019 film, illustrated by MPC Film. Distinguished by its Cosmos Holo finish, this promo card is available in both a standard version and a special stamped variant (often distributed at movie theaters or special events), making it a prized item for both movie memorabilia collectors and competitive trainers seeking unique Lightning-type options

The card’s gameplay utility is defined by two distinct attacks: Scout and Surprise Attack. Scout requires one Lightning Energy and forces the opponent to reveal their hand, providing crucial information for strategic planning and resource management. Its primary offensive move, Surprise Attack, costs three Colorless Energy and deals a potent 80 damage, though it requires a coin flip; if tails, the attack fails, adding an element of high-risk, high-reward variance that can swing the momentum of a match. With a Weakness to Fighting, Resistance to Metal, and a Retreat Cost of 2, it serves as a solid mid-game attacker capable of disrupting opponent strategies.

Collectors and investors value SM170 for its unique status as a movie tie-in promo, with prices varying significantly based on condition and the presence of the official stamp. Whether displayed as a cinematic collectible or utilized in acasual Lightning deck for its hand-revealing capability, Detective Pikachu remains a standout card that bridges the gap between the Pokémon anime universe and the trading card game.
