Pikachu ex from the CoroCoro Comics promo set, that elusive Japanese variant numbered 001/PCG-P, graded PSA 10. Yeah, this one’s a gem for anyone hunting those pristine slabs—clean label, no surprises.
The artwork catches you right away with Pikachu mid-leap, sparks flying everywhere like it’s about to zap the competition. That dynamic pose just pulls you in, simple but effective against a starry backdrop.
On the card text side, it’s a Lightning-type with 70 HP. Poke-Body called “Extra Energy” that boosts damage if you’ve got extra Energy attached. Attacks include “Thunder Jolt” for 30 damage with a coin flip for paralysis, and “Thunderbolt” dishing out 50 while discarding all attached Energy. Solid mechanics for an early ex card, keeps it playable even now.
This printing dropped back in 2004 as part of CoroCoro magazine’s promo run in Japan, tied to the EX era hype. What makes it stand out? It’s one of the first Pikachu ex cards ever, handed out to readers who entered contests or subscribed—super limited distribution compared to main sets. Not your everyday pack pull; it’s got that exclusive vibe from the magazine’s long history with Pokemon tie-ins. Collectors dig it for bridging the gap between classic and modern eras, especially with Pikachu as the mascot.
Slab-wise, this PSA 10 shines with spot-on centering—think 10/10 across the board for edges, corners, surface. Eye appeal is top-notch, colors pop without any fading, and that holo foil gleams under light. Pop reports show these in Gem Mint are scarce; last I checked, under 50 confirmed in PSA 10, making it a tough chase for completionists. No print lines or whitening to worry about here—it’s as clean as they come.
I’d tuck this slab away in a display case, maybe next to some old-school holos, just to relive those magazine promo days.
