Market outlook

Rising Outlook 8/10

The SAR Full Art Pikachu ex is gaining value due to limited supply, high demand from collectors, and Pikachu's enduring popularity. The 2025 re-release or promotional variant may further boost interest[3][5].

Next months. Next 3–6 months: Prices expected to rise 10–15% as the 2025 variant gains traction in the market[3][5]

Long term. 1–3 year: Prices projected to increase 25–40% due to sustained demand and scarcity of SAR Full Art cards

History

Pikachu is the iconic mascot of the Pokémon franchise, created by Satoshi Tajiri and Ken Sugimori in 1996. As Pokémon #025, the Electric-type mouse is known for its friendship with Ash Ketchum in the anime and its role as a central figure in games, trading cards, and merchandise worldwide[1][2].

  • The card is a Secret Rare (SAR) Full Art variant, making it one of the most visually prestigious forms of Pikachu ex[1][2].
  • Pikachu ex can be obtained in the mobile game via the 'Strongest Genetics Pikachu' expansion pack or by exchanging 500 pack opening points[2].
  • The card number 234/193 exceeds the base set size, confirming it as a Secret Rare from a booster or special set[3].

Collector notes

Condition. Check for edge wear on the Full Art border, especially the corners where the image extends to the edge. Common flaws include micro-tears in the foil layer and centering issues due to the large print area[1][2].

Storage. Store in a rigid top loader with a soft pencil sleeve. Avoid direct sunlight and humidity to prevent foil degradation. Use a charcoal filter in storage boxes to absorb moisture[1][2].

Authenticity. Fakes often lack the deep holographic depth of the SAR finish and may have blurry text. Verify the set code and card number (234/193) match official Pokémon TCG databases. Authentic Full Art cards have a subtle matte texture outside the image area[1][2].
