Pokémon Mr. Mime Smp2 Detective Pikachu Reverse Holo 015/024 CGC 10 Japanese

Price: $40.00

Pikachu from the Detective Pikachu set, card number 015 out of 024, sitting pretty in a CGC 10 slab. This one’s a common rarity, but don’t let that fool you—it’s got that movie magic vibe all over it.

The artwork shows Pikachu in full detective mode, coffee in hand, looking like he’s about to crack a case. That fuzzy little guy with the hat and the serious stare just nails the charm from the film. It’s got a fun, cinematic feel without going overboard.

On the card text side, it’s a Basic Lightning-type Pokémon with 90 HP. No Ability here, but it packs two attacks: Gnaw for 20 damage with just one Colorless Energy, and Thunderbolt for 100 damage using two Lightning and one Colorless—discard all Energy after, though. Keeps it straightforward, like Pikachu’s always been the reliable starter.

This printing dropped in 2019 as part of the special Detective Pikachu mini-set, tied directly to the live-action movie. What stands out is how it captures the film’s quirky style—cards like this weren’t in standard expansions, so it’s a neat snapshot of that era when Pokémon went Hollywood. English versions exist, but Japanese ones often have that crisp print quality that collectors dig. It’s not your everyday Pikachu; this one’s got the narrative flair from the detective story, making it a standout in the sea of electric mice cards.

Slab-wise, a CGC 10 means perfection across the board—centering spot-on, edges razor-sharp, corners like they just came off the press, and surface without a flaw. Eye appeal is high with that vibrant yellow popping against the detective backdrop. As for pop, from what I recall in widely reported estimates, CGC 10s for this card hover around the low dozens, given it’s not a massive set and CGC slabs aren’t as flooded as PSA for Pokémon stuff. It’s rare enough to feel special without being impossible.

I’d frame this one on the shelf next to some movie merch, just for that nod to the film that brought Pikachu to life in a whole new way.
