07Why Collectors Want It

  • A Delta Species (δ) print from the Nintendo Black Star Promos — the EX-era's promo subset distributed through the original Nintendo branding before the BSP rebrand.
  • Raw ~$164 vs. PSA 10 ~$1,900 — a ~12× grading multiple; EX-era promo centering and edge wear are the usual downgrades.
  • The δ-prefix puts this Pikachu on the Delta Species line; pairs naturally with the Legend Maker δ Pikachu for a complete EX-era δ-Pikachu collection.
  • A grail-tier promo pickup for Pikachu completionists and one of the more under-the-radar Nintendo BSP chases.

08Competitive Playability

Tier: None

Basic Pikachu with 40 HP; top attack around 20 damage. Functions as an evolution-chain piece rather than a tournament attacker.

09Card Moves and Abilities

Thunder Wave Cost: Colorless

Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

Iron Tail Cost: Metal + Colorless · 20× damage

Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 20 damage times the number of heads.

10Grading and Population

PSA 10 estimate: Modern Common/Uncommon — most copies are not graded because raw value rarely justifies the fee.

Graded populations stay low; usually collected raw or sleeved rather than slabbed.

Other graders: Negligible BGS/CGC submission volume.
