Michina Temple – Stadium Promo 044/DPt-P | Holo | Advent of Arceus Movie Special Pack | Japanese Pokémon TCG 2009

A movie-tied piece of Pokémon TCG history — with one of the most charming illustrations in the Diamond & Pearl era. The Michina Temple Stadium Promo 044/DPt-P is an official Japanese Diamond & Pearl promotional card distributed exclusively in Japan in 2009 — never released in Western markets and never available through standard booster packs.

This card was available in Japan as part of an Advent of Arceus special blister pack, bundled together with the Pikachu M LV.X promo — and features the same special holographic foil treatment as cards from the Movie Commemoration Random Pack. Released in 2009 as part of the Movie Release Special Pack (映画公開記念 スペシャルパック2009) alongside 043/DPt-P Pikachu M in a 3-pack blister tied to the Japanese theatrical release of Arceus and the Jewel of Life. 

The illustration — credited to the 2009 Pikachu Project — features Ash's Pikachu, Dawn's Piplup, and Spiky-eared Pichu running joyfully in front of the majestic Michina Temple — a key location in the 12th Pokémon film and one of the most iconic settings in Diamond & Pearl movie history. The sparkle-pattern holographic border is unique to this promotional series. 

As a Stadium card, Michina Temple allows both players to choose one Pokémon M from their side each turn and remove 2 damage counters from it — a thematic mechanic perfectly suited to the Arceus movie's Pokémon M-focused storyline.
