Pikachu V-UNION SWSH141 Bottom Left from the 2021 Celebrations Promo, sitting pretty in a CGC Pristine 10. This one’s the bottom left quarter of that massive V-UNION puzzle, and yeah, it’s got some charm.
The artwork shows Pikachu mid-jump, tail sparking with electricity, looking ready to zap anything in sight. That dynamic pose really captures the essence of everyone’s favorite electric mouse, with those rosy cheeks and determined eyes popping against the yellow fur.
On the card text, it’s a Lightning type with 300 HP when fully assembled, but this piece focuses on the Union Gain Ability that lets you attach up to two Lightning Energy from your discard pile to your Pokémon once per turn. Attacks include Electro Ball for 200 damage if you discard an Energy, and there’s the big V-UNION gimmick where all four parts combine for mega plays. Short version: it’s built for energy ramp-up and heavy hits in a deck that revolves around piecing it together.
Celebrations dropped in 2021 to mark Pokémon’s 25th anniversary, pulling classic reprints and fresh takes on old favorites. This Pikachu V-UNION stands out because it’s a promo set exclusive, split into four cards that you have to collect and play as one giant entity—kind of a nod to the franchise’s history while adding modern mechanics. Not every set experiments like that, and this printing feels like a fun callback to the early days with a twist for today’s battles.
In the slab, this CGC Pristine 10 means flawless edges, perfect corners, and centering that’s dead on, maybe 55/45 or better if you’re nitpicking. Eye appeal is solid with vibrant colors that don’t fade, and no print lines mucking it up. Pop-wise, based on what I’ve seen in reports, CGC hasn’t graded a ton of these compared to PSA, but estimates put Pristine 10s for this specific quarter in the low dozens—rare enough that it’s not flooding the scene.
I’d stash this one in a display case where the light catches that foil just right, maybe next to the other pieces if you’re going for the full union.
