Will “Tohoku’s Pikachu” Spike in Value? Here’s Why It’s Likely.

Several key factors suggest this promo card is set for a significant price surge.

1. Extreme Exclusivity

The “Tohoku’s Pikachu” promo isn’t available in any regular set. It’s an exclusive item included in the Special Box “Tohoku,” which is being sold only to winners of a lottery held on the official Pokémon Center Online store. This lottery system means that not even every fan in Japan can get their hands on one, creating instant scarcity and driving up demand among collectors worldwide.

2. A Hard-to-Obtain Promo Card

The previously released Special Box “Pokémon Center Kanazawa Open Memorial” was a popular item sold only at Pokémon Centers across Japan and on the Pokémon Center Online store, selling out on the day of its release.

For this reason, the “Kanazawa’s Pikachu Promo” card included in the set is traded for over 40,000 JPY due to its high rarity.

Similarly, the “Tohoku’s Pikachu Promo” is also a card included in the limited-release Special Box “Tohoku,” making it a card for which a surge in market price is anticipated.

3. Pay Attention to Other Special Boxes Releasing at the Same Time

In addition to the Special Box “Tohoku,” the Special Box “Hiroshima,” which includes the “Hiroshima’s Pikachu Promo,” and the Special Box “Fukuoka,” containing the “Fukuoka’s Pikachu Promo,” will be released around the same time.

These can be described as cards that you will want to collect together with the “Tohoku’s Pikachu Promo.”
