Pikachu Card Details

Use the set name and collector number together when comparing listings. Pikachu SM86 / 248 belongs to SM Black Star Promos, a promo line that began on February 3, 2017; each promo in it came out on its own date. That combination distinguishes this printing from cards with the same character name in other expansions.

How To Research This Printing

Start with the image, SM Black Star Promos set name, and SM86 / 248 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.
