This 2018 Japanese Sun & Moon Promo Pretend Boss Pikachu (#197/SM-P) depicts Pikachu attired in the signature outfit of Team Skull's leader Guzma, complete with oversized sunglasses and streetwear, artwork illustrated by Sanosuke Sakuma. Graded PSA 10 Gem Mint, the card exhibits clean surfaces, crisp edges, and well-preserved centering. Per the PSA population report, 728 examples have received the top Gem Mint grade.
Issued in January 2018 as part of the Pokémon Center Japanese campaign "Rainbow Rocket's Ambition," this card was distributed as a promotional insert to store visitors purchasing designated Pokémon TCG products. The campaign celebrated iconic villainous factions throughout the franchise's history, with Team Skull originating from the Alola region in the Sun & Moon series. Because the distribution was restricted to physical Pokémon Center locations in Japan during a limited promotional window, unnumbered SM-P promos from this campaign hold a distinct position in modern Japanese TCG set history.Show more
