Ash's Pikachu, as the main Pokémon character of the longest running Pokémon animation, has received multiple dedicated cards in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]]. Usually, they are released alongside [[Pokémon movie]]s. Before any of those, however, was the [[jumbo card|jumbo]] {{TCG|Unnumbered Promotional cards|promo card}} [[Mewtwo Strikes Back (CoroCoro promo)|Mewtwo Strikes Back]], which focuses on Mewtwo but includes Pikachu in the background. It was released to coincide with the movie the card is named after, ''[[M01|Mewtwo Strikes Back]]''. The first card centering on Pikachu was another such jumbo promo card, [[Pichu and Pikachu (CoroCoro promo)|Pichu and Pikachu]]. It showed Pikachu teamed up with the [[Pichu Brothers]], and was a tie in to ''[[PK07|Pikachu and Pichu]]'', one of the [[Pikachu short]]s.
