1995 onix pokemon card Colorless Artist Onix - 56/95 (Reverse Foil)

As a set that didn't exactly have a sharp focus, this still had majorly memorable cards including the Espeon VMAX Alt Art and Gengar VMAX Alt Art

The astronomical price of Pikachu Illustrator is down to a few unique factors

Second-off, it has the cherished 340 HP, the highest count on a legal Pokmon card

As a counter to psychic, dark energy is one of the hardest to farm, with no dedicated energy-boosting card, so perhaps this could shift things in the future

This Pikachu promo card will be available as a gift-with-purchase at select local and online retail locations where Pokmon TCG products are sold, including Pokmon Center, from August 2 August 18 while supplies last
