In 2014, a video game was released called Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS and WiiU (or Smash 4 for short). This game includes many playable characters from many games. One of them is Pikachu and for each character, a figure was produced. It can be tapped on a device to act as a computer controller fighter that can be trained. However, it also has features in other games as well. This after causes amiibo to have a high pricing however Pikachu in particular doesn’t have many other functions.

Origin: eBay
This Pikachu card comes from the Legendary Set of old. That set was made of all older cards before this. In this case, the Pikachu is based off the Jungle set. This is the first set to contain reverse holofoils which is what you see here. This design was only used for that set, often called the Fireworks design. My sister had a Fireworks Nidoran♀ since we were kids, and I’ve always wanted this Pikachu card to match it since then. It took a while to find one at a good price, but thankfully this one was a bid so it naturally was low.

This is a 8 inch Mimikyu plush. This Pokémon looks like Jolteon, but it’s a completely different line of species. It’s actually a Ghost/Fairy type Pokemon. It usually dresses as a Pikachu since wants to become more popular. This is actually a keychain plush, and comes in a line of plushies with all of Jolteon’s family (pictured).

I got this at a local shopping district I go to once a month. One of the shops sells American and Japanese Pokémon merchandise, including many different Mimikyu.

This is a 8 inch Mimikyu plush. This Pokémon looks like Pikachu, but it’s a completely different line of species. It’s actually a Ghost/Fairy type Pokemon. It’s true form is hidden underneath its Pikachu costume, since everyone that sees it is paralyzed with fear. It is also said that it chose a costume that looks like Pikachu in hopes of becoming more popular. This plush is small enough to act as a keychain plush, and sits itself up very well despite having no support. I got this at a local shopping district I go to once a month.

Species: Raichu
Gen: 7
Origin: TOMY

A 10 inch plush of Alolan Raichu. It’s the evolved form of Pikachu when in Alola. Alola is a tropical region. It uses psychic powers to surf on its tail, even when in midair. It’s also said to smell like pancakes, either because it’s made of them or it eats them too much. This became a popular plush when it first came out, and even got up to $50! I have two of these, one loose and one boxed and I got them both as gifts. It’s one of my favorites because it is made of a softer material than most of the TOMY plushies.
