# Surfing Pikachu (Japanese) #p617257 — CoroCoro Promotional Cards

## Summary

The Japanese CoroCoro promo is where Surfing Pikachu began, a give-away tied to the children's magazine that Japan's collectors treat as a separate lineage from anything sold in packs. Pikachu grins on a pink board as foamy blue waves curl beneath it, set against a pale sky on a warm yellow card. The English Surfing Pikachu in Evolutions came out in November 2016 as a reprint of that look. The modelled guide sits at $27; no PSA population is on file.
