Every Pikachu card

The short version

Pikachu has 30 printings in Pokémon TCG Pocket, across 13 expansions — the earliest in Genetic Apex and the most recent in Promo B. It is a Basic Lightning-type Pokémon printed at between 60 and 120 HP, weak to Fighting, with a retreat cost of 1. They run to nine rarities — 13 Commons, four Double Rares, four Art Rares, three Super Rares, one Special Art Rare, two Immersive Rares, one Shiny, one Shiny Super Rare and one Crown Rare. The hardest to pull is the Crown Rare from Genetic Apex, at about 1 in 1,448 packs, or 2,500 Pack Points to buy outright. Nine hunts in ten end inside 3,333 packs, which is about 4.6 years at the two free packs a day the game gives you. The printings come out of 16 different packs. The most recent is Pikachu #001, from an expansion that shipped in October 2025. That printing attacks with Spark for 10. The card’s own words: “When it is angered, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks.” It has been drawn by 18 artists, PLANETA CG Works more than anyone else with four cards.
