Five Pikachus, five Japanese cities: in September 2026 our PSA10 listing prices ranked these regional Pokemon Center Pikachu cards high to low. Mega Tokyo sat at the top and Fukuoka at the bottom of the same regional-promo family.
Our regional Pokemon Center Pikachu guide already covers what each of these promos is and where it came from.
All five are Pokemon Center-distributed, Japan-only Pikachu promo cards, each tied to a specific Japanese city or region.
In that ranking of our PSA10 listing prices, Mega Tokyo Pikachu (098/XY-P) led, followed by Kanazawa Pikachu No Mark (147/S-P); Fukuoka’s Pikachu (289/SV-P) sat at the bottom. It was a ranking of our own listing prices, not a market-wide valuation claim.

All Five Regional Pokemon Center Pikachu Promos, Ranked by Price
That ranking put the five promos in this order, high to low:
| Rank | Card | Set / Number |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mega Tokyo Pikachu | XY-P 098/XY-P |
| 2 | Kanazawa Pikachu, No Mark | S-P 147/S-P |
| 3 | Kanazawa Pikachu, With Mark | S-P 144/S-P |
| 4 | Tohoku’s Pikachu | SV-P 260/SV-P |
| 5 | Fukuoka’s Pikachu | SV-P 289/SV-P |
The order reflected our own listing prices, not a market-wide valuation. Two things stand out. First, the top two spots sat well clear of the bottom three. Second, the two Kanazawa listings — ostensibly the “same” card — landed in second and third place, far apart.
#1: Mega Tokyo Pikachu
Mega Tokyo Pikachu (JP: メガトウキョーのピカチュウ), promo number 098/XY-P, topped that ranking in PSA10.
It comes from the XY-P promo block, the oldest promo era represented in this ranking. Of the five cards here, it is the only one distributed under an X&Y-era promo code rather than a Sword & Shield or Scarlet & Violet one, which puts real distance between it and the other four in terms of print era.
For the full identification and background story on this specific promo, see our dedicated Mega Tokyo Pikachu promo card guide.
#2 and #3: The Two Kanazawa Pikachu Variants
Kanazawa Pikachu (JP: カナザワのピカチュウ) comes in two variants, collector-labeled “No Mark” and “With Mark.” Both share the same promo set code, S-P, but carry different card numbers.
The No Mark card (147/S-P) took second place overall in PSA10. The With Mark card (144/S-P) took third place.
“No Mark” and “With Mark” are collector-labeled variant names rather than official card-text terminology. For the full identification breakdown of how to tell the two apart, see our Kanazawa Pikachu With Mark & No Mark guide.
If you’re trying to work out which Kanazawa Pikachu you’re holding, the printed number — 147/S-P or 144/S-P — is the reliable identifier. Don’t rely on “mark” descriptions alone.
#4: Tohoku’s Pikachu
Tohoku’s Pikachu (JP: トウホクのピカチュウ), promo number 260/SV-P, took fourth place in that ranking in PSA10. It was distributed through the Special Box “Pokemon Center Tohoku,” and belongs to the SV-P promo block — the SV-P code shared with Fukuoka’s Pikachu in fifth place.
At fourth and fifth, Tohoku’s and Fukuoka’s Pikachu were the two closest-priced cards in that ranking. For the full identification and distribution details, see our Tohoku’s Pikachu promo card guide.
#5: Fukuoka’s Pikachu
Fukuoka’s Pikachu (JP: フクオカのピカチュウ), promo number 289/SV-P, sat at the bottom of that five-card ranking; a PSA10 was listed at ¥32,900 (~$214) on October 24, 2026. Like Tohoku’s Pikachu, it’s an SV-P block card — the newest promo code represented in this lineup.
Fifth place doesn’t mean this is a “lesser” card — it’s still a Japan-exclusive, Pokemon Center-distributed, city-specific Pikachu promo in PSA10. It simply reflected where it sat relative to the other four in our own listings. For the full write-up, see our Fukuoka’s Pikachu promo card guide.
Why Promo-Block Era Drives the Price Gap
Line the five cards up by promo block and the ranking mostly sorts itself: XY-P (X&Y era) → S-P (Sword & Shield era) → SV-P (Scarlet & Violet era).
- Mega Tokyo Pikachu — XY-P block, the oldest era here, ranked first.
- Kanazawa Pikachu (both variants) — S-P block, the middle era, ranked second and third.
- Tohoku’s and Fukuoka’s Pikachu — SV-P block, the newest era here, ranked fourth and fifth.
With only five listings to compare, the promo-block sequence lines up loosely with a broad pattern: in this set of five, the older promo eras ranked above the newer ones. That’s an observation, not a proven cause — the Kanazawa pair itself is a reminder why: two cards from the same promo block still landed far apart, meaning card number and specific variant matter at least as much as era.
This was a ranking of five specific promos by our own PSA10 listing prices at the time of the ranking, set against each other. It is not a claim that these are the only regional Pokemon Center Pikachu promos ever released, and it is not a third-party market-value assessment.
