==Release information==
In Japan, this card was available as an insert with the September 1997 issue of [[CoroCoro]] Comic, released in August 1997. The English version of the card was released through the {{TCG|Pokémon League}} in August 2001. It was later reprinted in the Japanese-exclusive {{TCG|Pokémon Web}} expansion, and again as a {{TCG|retro card}} in the {{TCG|Rising Rivals}} expansion.<br>
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.

==Trivia==
*Since the release of this card, {{p|Pikachu}} that know {{m|Surf}} [[Pikachu variants#Surfing Pikachu|have appeared in other Pokémon media]]. A Pikachu with Surf can be downloaded to a Pokémon video game via certain events or game peripherals.
*Although the plural form of any Pokémon's name is thought to be the same as the singular form, the Wizards Promo print of this card says "Pikachus" as opposed to "Pikachu." This is also seen in many cards from the {{TCG|Team Rocket}} expansion. This card's odd wording was fixed in the Rising Rivals print.

===Origin===
{{m|Surf}} is a [[move]] in the [[Pokémon games]]. {{p|Pikachu}} cannot learn Surf under normal conditions.
