Pikachu ex (SSP 057)

The Pikachu ex (SSP 057) card is a Lightning-type Basic Pokémon ex card featured in the Surging Sparks expansion of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. This card highlights Pikachu's Tera ability, which prevents damage to it while it remains on the bench. Its unique ability, Resolute Heart, allows Pikachu ex to survive a knockout by retaining 10 HP if it would otherwise be defeated from full health by an opponent's attack.

The card's powerful attack, Topaz Bolt, deals 300 damage but requires discarding three Energy after use. With a Fighting weakness, no resistance, and a retreat cost of one, this card balances high damage potential with a notable cost in resources. Pikachu ex is available in multiple rarities, including a Regular, Ultra Rare, Special Illustration Rare, and a Hyper Rare variant. The Special Illustration Rare artwork is particularly sought after for its dynamic design by GIDORA
