Pikachu
Pikachu, the Electric-type Pokemon, stepped onto the Pokemon scene in 1996 through the Red and Blue games. It’s that cute, yellow Pokemon with the lightning bolt tail! Pikachu evolves from Pichu and later evolves into Raichu. Known for its electric moves and friendly nature, Pikachu quickly became the face of Pokemon, stealing the hearts of trainers worldwide.
These are my views at the time of writing this article. Over time the value of cards will change of course but I think these specific Pokemon cards will withstand that test.
