Trivia

Origin

The Pikachu in the illustration wears an outfit resembling that of Team Rainbow Rocket's Giovanni. The Domination? attack references Giovanni's ambition to exploit Pokémon and control the world. In addition, the attack's effect is that of the Supporter card Lysandre, another boss of an evil team, which later was recreated as Boss's Orders with art featuring Giovanni. This card's Pokédex entry comes from Pokémon Moon.
