This one is for the (crazy) collectors and maybe scalpers. The Pokemon Company International UK has an upcoming collaboration with the London Natural History Museum. There will be a Pikachu at the Museum jumbo promotional card at the museum pop-up shop and at select UK retailers. Museum tickets for this event are already sold out before the reveal of this card.

Image Source This art is actually cool. You have the iconic open mouth smile from Pikachu while being in a museum. The flying fossil looks like Aerodactyl and the one fossil at the back looks like Tyrantrum. This Pikachu card is not a playable card. Imagine someone using The Best Collection attack and then the person whips out their collection binder to show 1 card. | | | |---|---| | https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fohmyfacts.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F10%2F34-facts-about-aerodactyl-pokemon-1730341753.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=0c6436eac91566389223af7a47f5c200ee41808877d112c849f17323a97ad54b | https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.wikidexcdn.net%2Fmwuploads%2Fwikidex%2Fthumb%2F2%2F28%2Flatest%2F20150906194237%2FTyrantrum.png%2F1200px-Tyrantrum.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=92ead7e596f9676dfb202f8276af569dad22497830893aae91ea06e2da579389 | More details can be found on the [Pokebeach website](https://www.pokebeach.com/2026/01/pikachu-at-the-museum-jumbo-promo-and-pokecology-merchandise-to-release-for-londons-natural-history-museum). ---

Image Source There was crazy demand, chaos, frenzy and some actual physical violence as people/scalpers were trying to get their hands on Pokemon merchandise back in 2023. With this London Museum x Pokemon event, I foresee a craze here too. I guess Pokemon helps in getting people into museums. Thank you for reading.
