Release information

This card was as a Wizards Black Star Promo released through the Pokémon League in August 2001. In Japan, it was first available as an Unnumbered Promotional card on a two-card insert alongside Imakuni? in the September 1997 issue of CoroCoro Comic, released on August 15, 1997. A mail-in prize draw offering another copy of the Japanese print was published in the December 1998 issue of CoroCoro Comic, released on November 15, 1998. People wishing to enter the prize draw were required to affix the application ticket on the bottom left of the article page to a postcard and send it to Shogakukan. Two thousand winners were sent a set of five cards mounted on two plain sheets: Surfing Pikachu and Flying Pikachu on one; Jynx, Cubone, and Farfetch'd on the other. The two Japanese prints are on glossy card stock.

It was reprinted with slightly different artwork in Japan as another Unnumbered Promotional card and was available through the JR East Pokémon Stamp Rally, which ran between August 9 and 17, 1997 on the Yamanote Line. People taking part had two days to collect stamps from each station on the line in special stamp books. 100,000 reserve tickets were available to book between July 27 and August 8, 1997. Participants that managed to collect 10 stamps were given a Pokémon Trainer Certificate. Participants that managed to collect all 30 stamps were given a two-card set that included the variant Surfing Pikachu and Mew. This variant is commonly known as the Mt. Fuji Surfing Pikachu in reference to the background illustration, and is printed on regular card stock.

A French version of the Wizards Black Star Promo print was included in the Pikachu World Collection, available to purchase exclusively at Pokémon Park 2000 held at Sydney University, Sydney, Australia from September 12 to October 4, 2000. This print features a gold foil Pikachu tail stamp opposite the Black Star Promo symbol.

It was later reprinted in the Japanese Pokémon Web expansion and again as a retro card in the Rising Rivals expansion, originating from the Japanese Bonds to the End of Time expansion. It was reprinted again in the Evolutions expansion featuring the same artwork as the original print and an updated card template reminiscent of the Original Series layout. In Japan, it was available as a XY-P Promotional card in the 20th Anniversary Special Pack: M Slowbro-EX + Surfing Pikachu, released on September 16, 2016.

Trivia

The two Japanese Unnumbered Promotional prints have clauses under the card name stating "This card cannot evolve into Raichu."
Although the plural form of any Pokémon's name is the same as the singular form, the Pokédex entry on the Wizards Black Star Promo print states "Pikachus" as opposed to "Pikachu." This is also seen on many cards from the Team Rocket expansion. This error was corrected on subsequent prints.

Origin

Surf is a move in the Pokémon games, though Pikachu cannot learn it under normal conditions until Generation VIII. Surfing Pikachu have appeared in other Pokémon media since the release of this card.

This article is part of Project TCG, a Bulbapedia project that aims to report on every aspect of the Pokémon Trading Card Game.

The two Japanese prints are on glossy card stock.
-The card was also released with slightly different artwork in Japan as a special card through the {{wp|Japan Railway|JR}} Stamp Rally in September 1997. Those taking part in the Stamp Rally were tasked to collect stamps by visiting participating stations as detailed in special stamp books available to buy at a number of those stations. Those that collected the required number of stamps were awarded a two-card set that included the variant Surfing Pikachu and {{TCG ID|Wizards Promo|Mew|47}}. This variant is commonly known as the ''Mt. Fuji Surfing Pikachu'', in reference to the background illustration. The JR rally version is printed on regular card stock and is considerably rarer than its CoroCoro counterpart. In contrast, the CoroCoro version is printed on glossy card stock and lacks the mountain and train illustrations. This variant card was never released in English.
