Pichu Bros. is a Basic Lightning Pokémon with 60 HP. In the Pokédex this is Pichu (#172), generation 2 (Johto). The card lists Pikachu, Pikachu (#025) under evolves to.

Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this card. The same name is on 656 other cards in the catalog.

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 is named Pichu, while this one is Pichu Bros.. That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Pichu list a different HP.

I keep a set binder for POP Series 3, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the POP Series 3 set binder. 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 Baby Pokémon, Pikachu's friends, and POP Series. I still need this card.
