The foil layer is present and catches light as it should, though minor surface wear or edge scuffs may be visible on closer inspection. Please refer to the provided photos for the exact details of the item's condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:1.25em;font-weight:700;margin-top:1em;margin-bottom:0.5em;\"\u003eItem Description\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFew Pokémon carry the cultural weight that Pikachu does. The franchise's mascot, its smiling face on everything from stadium banners to airline liveries, Pikachu needs no introduction — but that doesn't mean every Pikachu card is created equal. The Pikachu World Collection Promos represent one of the most charming and deliberately international releases in the entire history of the Pokémon Trading Card Game, and the Italian-language version stands as one of the set's most sought-after individual pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReleased to celebrate the Pokémon franchise's global reach, the Pikachu World Collection was a set of nine Pikachu cards — each printed in a different language corresponding to a country where the TCG was officially sold. English, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Polish, and Chinese each received their own card, making this one of the few TCG releases designed from the ground up as a multilingual collector's artifact. The Italian Pikachu, numbered PW 2, carries all the warmth of the classic early artwork — that iconic, cheerful pose — rendered in full foil glory and annotated in the language of a country with its own deep and passionate Pokémon fanbase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe foil treatment on these cards is one of their defining features. Rather than a standard holofoil field, the shimmer here feels like a deliberate celebration — fitting for a card whose entire purpose is commemorative. The card back is standard, making it tournament-legal in terms of physical format, but nobody is sleeving this up for a competitive Standard deck. This is a display piece, a conversation starter, a small rectangle of Pokémon history that manages to feel genuinely special in a way that most singles simply do not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes the World Collection Promos especially compelling for collectors is the challenge they present as a complete set. Tracking down all nine languages in comparable condition is a genuine undertaking, and the Italian version — one of the European-language variants that tends to see slightly less circulation than the English or Japanese printings — is a meaningful piece of that puzzle. Whether you're chasing the full nine or simply want the Italian variant to represent a personal connection to the language or the country, this card delivers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis one is perfect for Pikachu completionists, multilingual TCG collectors, and anyone who appreciates the Pokémon franchise's history as a truly global phenomenon. It also makes a wonderful display piece for Italian Pokémon fans or anyone who wants something a little different from the standard English-language card collection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Coolection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56689828364454,"sku":"PKQ-215154-FL","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/7404\/4838\/files\/KottTp9JOkCH4EO_ve_6WwCwCuqUZrmaEeBsqq8w15s.jpg?v=1782191733","url":"https:\/\/coolection.com\/products\/pikachu-italian-pikachu-world-collection-promos-pw-2-foil","provider":"Coolection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
