Owing to its status as the face of the Pok\u00e9mon franchise, it was inevitable that Pikachu would be one such Pok\u00e9mon. Pikachu&#8217;s Gigantamax form subsequently made it to the Pok\u00e9mon TCG in the form of this spectacular Pikachu VMAX card from the Amazing Volt Tackle [S4] expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most striking thing to notice about this Hyper Rare (HR) card is the rainbow palette that envelops it. Only a select few cards are printed in such colors\u2014implying that this card was always planned to be one of the set&#8217;s major pulls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The illustration by aky CG Works is positioned from ground level looking up at the now giant-sized Pikachu. This low angle puts the overwhelming size of Gigantamax Pikachu into perspective\u2014all 21 meters of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Long-time Pok\u00e9mon fans may have noticed that this card makes use of Pikachu&#8217;s chunkier body shape which it had in the earliest Pok\u00e9mon generations. Considering the fact that\u2014largely driven by nostalgia\u2014 fans have been begging for a return to this shape for many years, having this Pikachu shape on a more modern card makes it all the more desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This card has been released in English as card 188\/185 of the Vivid Voltage expansion set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The price of a Pikachu VMAX (Amazing Volt Tackle [S4] 114\/100) card is 49,800 JPY (~US$337).<\/p>\n\n\n<p>In other TCG-related news, check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/snkrdunk.com\/en\/magazine\/2024\/03\/07\/pokemon-tcg-trust-the-gust-counter-catcher-future-flash-sv4m-094-066\/?slide=right\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Counter Catcher card from Future Flash [SV4M]<\/a>.
