I have this pikachu in my collection since December and havnt seen any other copy of it online. Its not a part of the play pokemon prize packs which are distributed at league. Is it rare or just another promo? Would love to hear some advice!
I was very happy to see this, because @quuador has this card on his buylist, but then I saw it was german. This should still be a rare card. The english version was released with the world championships iirc. I will still post this message, because Quuador will still like the look of this card I think and he might be able to help with the release of it:)
Absolutely happy to hear that its indeed a rare card! I was posting about it before at a subreddit, they didnāt have any clue about this card and someone recommended me this forum! I got this as a prize, winning at a tournament in our locals!
Sounds like a rare card to me.
As mentioned by @thymeee, the English version is pretty rare, and was given to winners of the Raid Battles at Worlds 2022 in the UK. Itās one of just two English Pikachu cards Iām currently still missing myself.
As for this German version, itās the first time I see it, so canāt give too much info about it Iām afraid. But if you won it at a tournament, you should already have some more info about it yourself:
- Did you win first place to win it? Or did the top 3 or 4 players got it? Or was it a participation prize instead, given to all participants in that tournament?
- What was the name of the tournament? And since you said āour localsā I assume it was a regional tournament, and not a German nation-wide one?
Either way, it does sound like a rare card right now. If it was just a participation prize in a regional tournament, there could be a lot more out there in similar events across the country. Not sure how many events are on average in Germany these days. Regardless, since itās the first one Iāve seen, itās a pretty good indication itās right now far from common to find.
Greetz,

Its not part of the tournament! We just made a private tournament before christmas and everyone added a bit from their own collection to the prize pool! Our TO took it out of her collection as the prize. I can ask her where she got it from! Ill let you know when I got new information! I was the only person which got it
It was only given out to Amigo staff members working at their booth at the Spiel 22 convention last year.
Amigo = contributors of pokemon tcg products in germany
Spiel= boardgames and startegygames convention
So there s a limited amount out there. I sadly dont know exactly how many german cards are out there ^^ā @quuador
Hey! I was the one from Reddit that said to check here. Glad the information was found!
Iām curious to the others in this thread, are there more cards besides the Pikachu that were released in this event? I think Bulbapedia mentions a few when Iām looking at āAdditional Cardsā for sets, but itās pretty vague.
