Pikachu 173/165 Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 151 Raw

Pikachu 173/165 from the Pokémon Scarlet & Violet 151 set is a standout Illustration Rare card that captures the beloved Electric-type Pokémon in a vibrant, artistic style. As part of the nostalgic 151 collection that pays homage to the original Pokémon lineup, this card features Pikachu in a dynamic pose, showcasing its iconic lightning bolt tail and cheerful expression. The artwork, created by Hioyuki Yomomato, adds a unique flair that distinguishes it from standard Pikachu cards, making it a must-have for collectors and fans of the franchise.

This Basic Lightning-type Pokémon has a modest 60 HP and comes equipped with two attacks: [L] Charge, which allows you to search your deck for a Basic Lightning Energy and attach it, and [1LL] Pike Punch, dealing 50 damage. With a retreat cost of just one Colorless Energy and no resistance, it's a functional card for casual gameplay, though its true value lies in its collectibility. The Illustration Rare rarity makes it a chase card within the set, highly sought after for its limited availability and striking visual design.
