Pikachu EX XY124 Black Star Promo Full Art Holo 2016 LP Pokemon Card

Price: $199.99

Pikachu EX XY124 from the Black Star Promo set, promo rarity, in lightly played raw condition. This one’s a full art holo that came out in 2016, and it’s got that classic Pikachu vibe with Ash’s hat thrown in for good measure. The artwork shows Pikachu mid-leap, surrounded by electric sparks, and the holo foil spreads across the whole card, catching light in a way that makes the bolts pop without overwhelming the details.

On the card text side, it’s a Lightning-type Basic Pokémon EX with 130 HP. Its Ability is “Spark” which lets you attach an extra Lightning Energy once per turn from your discard pile to one of your benched Pokémon. Attacks include “Thunder Lance” for 50 damage plus 20 more for each Lightning Energy attached, and it needs two Lightning and one Colorless to fire off. Weak to Fighting, resists Metal, and retreat cost of one. Pretty straightforward for building electric decks back in the day.

This promo dropped as part of the XY era giveaways, think tournament prizes or special bundles around 2016. Raw copies often show up with minor centering quirks—sometimes the borders lean a tad left or right, and the card stock feels a bit thinner than main set stuff, which can lead to edge wear if not handled carefully. Holo patterns on these can vary, with some having that subtle swirl that doesn’t overpower the art.

In this lightly played state, corners have some whitening from shuffling, nothing too deep, just the usual scuffs. Edges show light silvering along the sides, typical for a card that’s seen a few games but not abused. Surface is mostly clean, a couple faint scratches on the holo that you notice up close under light, but no major dents or creases. Centering looks about 60/40 top-bottom, solid enough for raw display. Holo flash is still there, giving off that electric shimmer when you tilt it. Sleeve it up for your binder or let it chill on the shelf—either way, it’s got personality.
