Pikachu Card Details

What Is On This Card?
Thundershock
Lightning energy. Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Agility
Lightning + Lightning energy. Flip a coin. If heads, during your opponent's next turn, prevent all effects of attacks, including damage, done to Pikachu.
When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity can cause lightning storms.
How To Research This Printing
Start with the image, Wizards Black Star Promos set name, and 27 / 53 collector number. Those identifiers matter more than the character name alone because the Pokémon TCG can reuse names across reprints, promos, alternate artwork, and later expansions.
Next, match the finish and condition. A holofoil, reverse holofoil, unlimited, or first-edition listing may carry a different reference price even when it belongs to the same card printing. Grading adds another layer: raw marketplace references should not be treated as prices for PSA, Beckett, or CGC slabs.
Finally, compare the visible update date with current marketplace listings and recent sold results. MonZap gives you a fast catalog reference, set context, and scanner workflow, while the linked marketplaces help you check what is available right now.
