Character info
The character
Pichu is the Tiny Mouse Pokémon, the pre-evolved form of Pikachu, known for its inability to properly store electricity, which causes it to accidentally discharge shocks when startled or overexcited. In the games and anime it is a small, energetic Electric-type associated with young or novice trainers. This particular printing ties the Pokémon to Ethan, a character from the Pokémon games and animated media known for his bond with Electric-type Pokémon.
This card
This is Ethan's Pichu, card number 071 out of 182 from the Destined Rivals set, printed in 2025 with a common rarity and reverse holo treatment. The artwork, illustrated by Narumi Sato, depicts Pichu standing on a dirt path in a bright countryside setting with a farmhouse and hills in the background. The card carries a small circular trainer icon in the lower right of the illustration indicating its association with Ethan.
