Pikachu – Promo 242/SV-P PSA 10 GEM MINT | Illustration Contest 2024 Winner | Japanese Pokémon TCG 2025

A fan-created masterpiece — officially immortalised in card form, certified perfect. This Pikachu Promo 242/SV-P has been professionally graded by PSA and awarded a GEM MINT 10 — the absolute highest grade achievable. The PSA slab confirms: 2025 POKEMON SV-P JP — ILLUSTRATION CONTEST 2024.

Illustrated by Kazuki Minami, this non-holo promo carries the official Pokémon TCG Illustration Contest 2024 logo — permanently identifying it as a winning entry from the contest series that has given the world some of the most celebrated fan-created Pokémon TCG artworks in recent history. The illustration shows Pikachu sitting quietly on a sunlit stone bench, head tilted back, bathed in warm dappled afternoon light from surrounding trees — an almost photographic, deeply serene composition that feels less like a card and more like a captured moment in time.

This is the same contest lineage as the legendary Charizard Illustration Grand Prix promo 143/S-P — making every winning card from this series a genuinely significant collector piece, representing the highest recognition a fan illustrator can receive from The Pokémon Company.

A Lightning-type Basic with 60 HP, featuring the thematically perfect Lounge attack — healing 20 HP from this Pokémon — a gentle self-care mechanic for the quietest, most peaceful Pikachu card ever printed.

Combined with a PSA 10 GEM MINT grade, this is one of the finest certified copies of this uniquely meaningful Pikachu promo available anywhere.
