Pikachu ex – 057/191 – Surging Sparks – Pokémon TCG

Tera Double Rare Holo · Lightning-Type · 200 HP · SV08 Expansion

The world’s most famous Pokémon, Pikachu, shines as a powerful Tera Pokémon ex in the Surging Sparks expansion . This Double Rare foil card is a must-have for any collection, featuring Pikachu in its crystalline Tera form with a stunning holographic finish .

This card is a Basic Lightning-type Pokémon with 200 HP [citation:1][citation:6][citation:12]. Its defining feature is the Resolute Heart Ability, which acts as a built-in safety net: if this Pokémon has full HP and would be Knocked Out by damage from an attack, it is not Knocked Out, and its remaining HP becomes 10 instead [citation:3][citation:6][citation:9]. This makes it incredibly resilient and difficult for opponents to take down in one hit .

Its attack, Topaz Bolt, costs one Grass, one Lightning, and one Metal Energy and deals a massive 300 damage [citation:2][citation:3][citation:6]. The cost requires you to discard three Energy from this Pokémon, which balances its immense power . It has a ×2 Fighting weakness and a retreat cost of one Colorless Energy [citation:1][citation:6][citation:12].

This card is from the Surging Sparks set (SV08), released on November 8, 2024 [citation:1][citation:12]. The Double Rare version (057/191) is a highly sought-after card, valued at approximately $25-$30 in raw condition and commanding a significant premium when graded at PSA 10 [citation:11].

Why This Card Stands Out

Pikachu ex is one of the most iconic and sought-after cards from the Surging Sparks expansion. Its combination of the Resolute Heart Ability, which can keep it alive in critical moments, and the Topaz Bolt attack, capable of dealing 300 damage, makes it a formidable and resilient card [citation:3][citation:6][citation:12]. As a Tera Pokémon ex, its rule of awarding three Prize cards when Knocked Out adds a significant layer of strategy and risk [citation:2][citation:3][citation:6]. This makes it a popular choice for both playing and collecting .
