==Trivia==
*Unlike previous tournament winner cards, the trophy cards produced between 2000 and 2002 had the name of the winner and the region in which the tournament was held. It is debated that this makes them rarer than those released in 1997-1999, as each one is unique.
This card is also popularly known as the ''Pikachu Trophy No.2'' card, in reference to the illustration. It is one of the rarest cards in the world, with only one copy of the card produced over the course of three years, meaning only three exist. At the height of the Pokémon phenomenon in the West, auctions of this card saw it make roughly $9,000.
*The 2002 print features both male and female trainer versions, taking inspiration from the choice first given to players with the release of [[Pokémon Crystal]].
*The double star rarity was no longer used with the 2002 print.
