# Pikachu (Japanese) #010 — McDonald's Pokémon-e Minimum Pack

## Summary

Japan got this Pikachu in January 2002 through a fast-food promotion, the McDonald's Pokémon-e Minimum Pack, months before the English Expedition Base Set arrived that September. As a Japanese e-Card era giveaway rather than a booster chase, it was built to be handed out widely, so the appeal is nostalgia more than scarcity. The holofoil Pikachu leaps through a starburst of glittering gold, a cheerful pose on a yellow-bordered card.
