Pikachu V

Description

The SWSH145 Pikachu V card represents a significant release within the 2019 Pokémon Black Star Promos series, bringing the electric-type icon to the Sword and Shield era. Illustrated by 5ban Graphics, this holo promo card captures the character's enduring appeal while introducing modern gameplay mechanics to the Trading Card Game. As a Basic Pokémon, it serves as a foundational piece for decks seeking powerful early-game presence. With 190 Hit Points, this card offers substantial durability in battle, allowing trainers to establish control before executing its signature move. The Volt Tackle attack deals 210 damage but comes with a strategic trade-off: the Pokémon also takes 30 damage to itself. This self-inflicted cost adds a layer of tactical depth, requiring players to weigh the immediate impact against the need for retreat or protection. The card's Lightning type makes it vulnerable to Grass attacks, further emphasizing the importance of strategic deck building and energy management. Collectors often seek out SWSH145 for its distinctive holo finish and its status as a promotional release, which distinguishes it from standard set releases. The card’s regulation mark E confirms its compatibility with current tournament formats, ensuring its longevity in competitive play. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to enhance your deck or a collector aiming to complete a Pikachu-themed subset, this card offers both aesthetic and mechanical value. The Pokémon TCG continues to evolve, and cards like Pikachu V bridge the gap between nostalgic favorites and modern innovation. By including this holo promo in your collection, you gain a versatile asset that performs well in gameplay while standing out as a visually striking piece of memorabilia. Its combination of high damage output and iconic character design makes it a staple for enthusiasts of the Sword and Shield block.
