Following the success of the 2014 Japanese Art Academy competition, the Pokemon company extended it to both the North American and Oceania/Europe regions in early 2015. Allowing artists to design a card around the premise of iether a Cosplay Pikachu or their favourite Pokemon, this Meli Pikachu was one of the winners for the Oceania/Europe region, and designed by artist Meli. With only 100 copies being awarded to the original artists, the entire supply of these cards are dictated by their creators, making them some of the rarest and most sought after Pokemon cards in modern history.
