*The illustration takes inspiration from the first {{TCG ID|Tournament|No.3 Trainer|promo}} produced in Japan in 1997, featuring {{p|Pikachu}} clutching a bronze trophy.
This card is also popularly known as the ''Pikachu Trophy No.3'' 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 reach roughly $8,000.
*The card is the same in each year; the only difference is the logo of the Worlds tournament it was awarded in and the year in the text.
*The card is only printed in English, making it one of the rarest English cards in existence. There are only three copies of each annual version produced.
