Trivia

Origin

As one of the mascots for showcasing the cultural diversity of Tokyo, this Pikachu represents hanami, the traditional annual custom of celebrating trees in bloom across the country, particularly the sakura, cherry blossom. The most popular hanami in Tokyo takes place at Ueno Park, typically in late March.

Pika Bolt is an attack that first appeared on Pikachu from EX Sandstorm. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Moon.
