Where this printing came from

The official 2021 announcement describes a Pikachu gift with qualifying purchases at Pokémon Center, Pokémon Store and the online store, beginning July 22. The stated threshold was ¥1,500 including tax; the PUBLIC TOKYO route instead involved eligible collaboration merchandise. These are historical campaign conditions, not an offer running today.

The box and the promo are not interchangeable

The special box listing describes accessories, including sleeves, a deck case and a playmat. The announcement separately explains the gift campaign and a gift for eligible online box winners. A secondhand accessory box should not be assumed to contain a card simply because the original promotion connected the two. Check the present listing’s contents.

Before calling something an English version

The official card record confirms Japanese 208/S-P and the YU NAGABA illustrator credit. We have not established a same-art English printing from the reviewed evidence. Do not treat translated listing text, a custom card, or a Pikachu with another illustrator as that counterpart.
