  • This card was released as a Jumbo card and was therefore not legal to use in tournaments or official events.
  • The card features the Yokohama Pokémon Center logo.
  • The card features a plain foil silver border.

Origin

A Pikachu was available for download on the same day at the Yokohama Pokémon Center. The Pikachu shares a similarity to this card in that it knows the move Surf.
