Baby Evolution is listed as Poké-Power. Once during your turn (before your attack), you may put Pikachu from your hand onto Pichu (this counts as evolving Pichu) and remove all damage counters from Pichu. The attack Chupi lists 20 damage. Flip a coin. If tails, this attack does nothing. Weakness is Fighting +10. Resistance is Metal -20. Retreat cost is 1. The flavor text reads "The electric pouches on its cheeks are still small.

Pichu (#172) has 14 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 13 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Pichu 35/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Yuka Morii illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Pichu list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Yuka Morii. I count 204 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Mysterious Treasures set binder is where a full Mysterious Treasures set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Pichu can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Yuka Morii clay cards and Baby Pokémon. I still need this card.
