LT. SURGE'S PIKACHU | 2000 POKEMON GYM HEROES 81 | PSA NM-MT 8

PSA Graded Card - Certification #130526200 - Grade: NM-MT 8

This is a 2000 Pokémon trading card from the "Gym Heroes" set, featuring 'Lt. Surge's Pikachu'. The card shows Pikachu with lightning around its cheeks, indicating its Electric type, on a tan/yellow background with a dark shadowbox window. Standard yellow border with Gym Leader motif; lower right features a portrait icon of Lt. Surge, identifying this as one of his themed Pokémon. The card is graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. It includes the classic Pokémon layout—move sets, energy requirements, HP, and illustrator credit to Ken Sugimori. There are no holographic or foil elements on this particular card, which is a standard non-holo Common from the set. The unique identifier 81/132 is printed at the bottom, and official licensing/production marks from Nintendo, Creatures, GAMEFREAK, and Wizards of the Coast are visible. The card condition (as graded) suggests sharp corners, minimal surface and edge wear, centering that may not be perfect but is overall strong for its age. The Gym Heroes set, released in 2000, was notable for incorporating characters and themes from the Pokémon Gym Leader arcs in the anime and games.
