what is the rarest golden pokemon card - Charizard ex 228/197 - Obsidian Flames - Hyper Rare The rarest cards in Pokémon

Pikachu Illustrator is extremely popular with collectors due to it being designed by Japan's Atsuko Nishida, who is credited as the original creator of Pikachu

It's something of a self-contained engine, though as a mere 2/2 it'll need help in combat, and its attack trigger requires exiling a specific card type

Of course, this deck was built without a budget in mind, and you could easily just target a few key cards and build around those instead with cheaper alternatives, especially if you're aiming for a lower bracket of competition
