This 2000 Pichu #172 comes from the Japanese Neo Premium File 2, a promotional release that marked the expansion of the Pokémon world into the Johto region. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, the card features the distinct starry reverse holofoil pattern characteristic of this specific promo set. Graded a Pristine 10 by CGC, this example sits in a population of 40 copies at this grade. As one of the original "Baby Pokémon" introduced during the Neo era, Pichu remains a foundational character for Johto-focused collections. The Neo Premium Files are well-regarded by collectors for their unique distribution and era-specific artwork, and this card captures a key moment when the franchise was evolving its gameplay mechanics and aesthetic. Given the continued interest in early Japanese promos and the high technical standards of the CGC gold label, this is a well-preserved piece of Pokémon's second generation history.Show more
