Pikachu Trading Card Appraisal

Pikachu Pokémon Trading Card (Sun & Moon Series)

The item is a collectible trading card featuring the Pokémon character Pikachu. The card is predominantly yellow, a common color scheme for Electric-type Pokémon cards. The central illustration depicts Pikachu sitting in a grassy landscape under a sky with a prominent rainbow. Pikachu itself is rendered in its classic yellow fur with brown stripes on its back and red cheek pouches. The card has a clean, glossy appearance, suggesting it might be laminated or stored in a protective sleeve, as there are no visible scratches, bends, or significant wear on the surface or edges. The text on the card is sharp and legible, indicating good print quality. Key elements visible include the character's name 'Pikachu' at the top, along with its HP (Health Points) of '60'. Below the illustration, an attack named 'Iron Tail' is listed, with a damage output of '20'. The card also shows a weak point of x2 (likely indicating double damage from a specific attack type) and a resistance of -20 (indicating reduced damage from another attack type). There's also a retreat cost symbol. At the very bottom left, a copyright or set symbol is partially visible, which appears to be 'SM' or '28/111', suggesting it belongs to a specific set from the 'Sun & Moon' era of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The overall condition appears to be near mint to excellent, given the lack of surface imperfections. The card's standard size is typical for Pokémon TCG cards, approximately 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches. The quality of the printing and the vibrant colors indicate it is an officially licensed product.
