Pikachu Holofoil Trading Card Appraisal

Pikachu Holofoil Trading Card

This item is a collectible trading card featuring the Pokémon character Pikachu. The card exhibits a vibrant holofoil finish, displaying a gradient of colors from red on the left side to green on the right, which creates a rainbow or spectrum effect across its surface. The main image on the card depicts Pikachu, dressed in what appears to be a detective outfit or similar attire, with electricity effects emanating around it. Above the image, the name 'Pikachu' is prominently displayed in black text, along with 'HP 90' and an electric energy symbol on the top right. Below the main image, some text is visible, including 'NO. 025 Mouse Pokémon HT: 1'04" WT: 13.2 lbs.'. Further down, the card features an ability called 'Brilliant Deduction', described as 'Look at the top 4 cards of your deck and put I of them into your hand. Shuffle the other cards back into your deck.' The bottom section includes combat statistics such as an attack cost (likely an electric energy symbol), a retreat cost (two colorless energy symbols), and resistance (partially visible, likely fighting type and a multiplier of 'x2'). There's also flavor text that reads, 'Skilled in deduction, he's a self-proclaimed 'great detective.' His detective hat is his trademark.' At the very bottom, copyrights for '2017 Pokémon / Nintendo / Creatures / GAME FREAK' are visible, indicating an estimated age of 2017 or later. The card appears to be in good condition with no obvious creases or severe wear, although the image quality makes it difficult to assess fine details of its corners or edges. The holofoil effect is a key distinguishing feature, suggesting it is a rare or special variant of a standard card.
