A Pikachu that only exists because a Pokémon Center moved buildings.
Hiroshima’s Pikachu — No. 261/SV-P (actualización: agotado — pide reposición vía Quick Order), Mirror Holofoil — was never sold on a shelf. It shipped inside the «Pokémon Center Hiroshima Special Box,» a lottery-allocated product that marked the store’s relocation from the SOGO department store to the Minamoa shopping centre. There is no booster pack to open — the card exists tied to one store and one relocation event, distributed through Pokémon Center Online lottery rounds rather than shelf stock.
This guide covers what the card is, the two other regional Pikachu promos that came out of the same 2025 relocation wave, the box it shipped in, and where the print sits relative to a standard Pikachu promo. Our own graded copy is currently listed without a displayed price, so we’ve noted that plainly rather than guessing — and pointed to the live Pikachu PSA 10 cards we do have priced and ready to ship.
Hiroshima’s Pikachu (261/SV-P, Mirror Holofoil) is a Japan-only, event-exclusive promo from the 2025 Pokémon Center Hiroshima relocation lottery — not a set pull. Our PSA 10 copy is listed without a displayed price (actualización: agotado — pide reposición vía Quick Order); enquire via Pedido rápido for a quote.

The Card: Hiroshima’s Pikachu 261/SV-P Mirror Holofoil
Hiroshima’s Pikachu (ヒロシマのピカチュウ) carries the promo number 261/SV-P, a Mirror Holofoil finish, and artwork credited to illustrator REOspikee. In-battle stats are the standard promo Pikachu profile: 70 HP, Lightning type.
What separates this print from a typical SV-P promo isn’t the card text — it’s the distribution. Hiroshima’s Pikachu was never sold individually or included in a generic promo pack. It came exclusively inside the Pokémon Center Hiroshima Special Box, a product built around a single event: Pokémon Center Hiroshima’s move out of the SOGO department store and into the Minamoa shopping centre. Order slots for that box were allocated through Pokémon Center Online, by lottery, with no general retail sale.
Our own graded copy — PSA10 Hiroshima’s Pikachu P [SV-P 261] (actualización: agotado — pide reposición vía Quick Order) — is currently listed without a displayed price on the live store. If you’re after this exact print, the sourcing route is a Pedido rápido enquiry rather than an add-to-cart purchase.
Print History: The Pokémon Center Regional Promo Family
Hiroshima’s Pikachu wasn’t issued in isolation. It’s one of three regional Pikachu promos tied to the same 2025 mechanic: a Pokémon Center store relocation, celebrated with a lottery-only special box and one city-exclusive Pikachu print. Each city’s box is a separate product with its own card — none of the three is a reprint of another.
Fukuoka’s Pikachu 289/SV-P
Fukuoka’s Pikachu, No. 289/SV-P, Mirror Holofoil, illustrated by Nelnal, shipped inside the «Pokémon Center Fukuoka Special Box,» marking that store’s move from JR Hakata City to the Hakata Marui mall. Results for this box were announced 11 July 2025, with the purchase window running 11–15 July 2025 (later extended to 31 July 2025), and shipping following in late September 2025. We cover this print in full in our Fukuoka’s Pikachu promo card guide.
Tohoku’s Pikachu 260/SV-P
Tohoku’s Pikachu, No. 260/SV-P, Mirror Holofoil, illustrated by Kouki Saitou, came from the «Pokémon Center Tohoku Special Box,» tied to a relocation within the PARCO Sendai mall. It used the same application window as the other two, with results announced 20 June 2025 and a purchase window of 20–24 June 2025 — the earliest of the three — and shipping started earliest as well, in mid-August 2025. Full detail is in our Tohoku’s Pikachu promo card guide.
Laid out side by side, the three prints share a number range, a finish, and a distribution mechanic — but each is its own card, numbered independently in the SV-P promo pool:
| Carta | Number | Rarity / Finish | Shipping began |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hiroshima’s Pikachu | 261/SV-P | Mirror Holofoil | Early September 2025 |
| Fukuoka’s Pikachu | 289/SV-P | Mirror Holofoil | Late September 2025 |
| Tohoku’s Pikachu | 260/SV-P | Mirror Holofoil | Mid-August 2025 |
All three applications ran through the same 13–17 June 2025 window, but results were announced on staggered dates per store — Tohoku 20 June 2025, Hiroshima 4 July 2025, and Fukuoka 11 July 2025 — so the gap between the shipping dates comes down to how each city’s box was processed and fulfilled, not a difference in how the cards were allocated. For the full three-way comparison of the boxes themselves, see our Pokémon Center regional special box guide, and for the wider regional-Pikachu picture, our Pokémon Center Pikachu promo hub.
The Set: The Pokémon Center Hiroshima Special Box
Hiroshima’s Pikachu doesn’t come from a numbered expansion, so there’s no «set size» in the usual sense — it comes from a single commemorative box built around one retail event. The Pokémon Center Hiroshima Special Box marked the store’s relocation from its long-running space inside the SOGO department store to the Minamoa shopping centre.
The Hiroshima-specific timeline:
- Application window: 13–17 June 2025
- Results announced: 4 July 2025
- Purchase window: 4–8 July 2025 (later extended to 31 July 2025)
- Shipping began: early September 2025
Initial orders were taken exclusively through Pokémon Center Online and allocated by lottery, with no walk-in retail purchase at launch. The manufacturer’s own product page for these boxes confirms a further lottery-sale round was run afterward, and states that physical Pokémon Center stores may carry the boxes at a later date — so this was not strictly a single, unrepeatable release, even though the initial route to a copy was lottery-only.
Where This Print Sits Among Japanese Chase-Rarity Tiers
We don’t quote pull rates or third-party market prices for promo cards — there’s no pack to pull from, so a «pull rate» doesn’t apply here. What we can compare, using only the distribution facts on record, is how restricted each promo’s access route was.
A standard SV-P promo — our related listing PSA10 Pikachu PROMO 207/SM-P is a comparable example from an earlier promo generation — typically moves through broader promotional channels: campaign redemptions, set-adjacent bundles, or general promo packs with recurring availability. Hiroshima’s Pikachu sits above that tier on restriction, not on a rarity symbol: access ran through a lottery tied to one store’s relocation, rather than a broad promotional channel. The same applies to its Fukuoka and Tohoku siblings. The manufacturer did run at least one further lottery-sale round for these boxes after the initial June 2025 wave, and its own product page notes physical Pokémon Center stores may carry them later — so «lottery-only» describes the access route, not a guarantee that no further round will ever happen.
In practical terms for collectors: a generic SV-P or SM-P promo typically moves through broader, recurring promotional channels. A store-relocation lottery promo like Hiroshima’s Pikachu is tied to a one-time event (Pokémon Center Hiroshima’s move to Minamoa), which is why access has stayed limited to lottery rounds rather than open retail sale.
