Trivia

The Japanese versions of the card are identical with the exception that the print given on ANA features an airplane in the illustration.
Since the release of this card, Pikachu that know Fly have appeared in other Pokémon media. A Pikachu with Fly can be downloaded to a Pokémon video game via certain events or game peripherals.
Flying Pikachu has a resistance to Fighting-types, despite not being a Template:Type2, likely due to the fact that it can fly.

Origin

ThunderShock is a move in the Pokémon games that Pikachu can learn. Fly is also a move, though Pikachu cannot learn it under normal conditions.
