Pikachu's Summer Vacation is a promotional card from the Miscellaneous Promos set, released on October 15, 1996. The card features artwork by Atsuko Nishida and is numbered 45 in its set. It belongs to the Japanese language version of the Pokémon Trading Card Game. The card’s design incorporates the hex color #b0a97f as its thematic color. Its primary effect is an attack named “Playground,” which requires two Lightning Energy to activate.
