Trivia
- The version of the card released in English is commonly known as Ivy Pikachu, referring to the background design of the illustration.
- A small number of the English version of this card with a 1st Edition symbol were accidentally released along with the 1st Edition release of Jungle booster packs. This accident caused this card to be the only promotional card of any sort to have a 1st Edition release.
Origin
Growl and ThunderShock are both moves in the Pokémon games that Pikachu can learn. This card's English Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Red and Blue, whereas the Japanese comes from Pokémon Red and Green.
