Fat Pikachu made a return as a Gigantamax Form in Pokémon Sword and Shield, but the plush cost $400. Fat Pikachu appreciators who didn’t want to fork over that kind of cash were left in the dust.

If you didn't think Pikachu had featured on enough Pokémon-V cards, this new Pokémon TCG box is perfect for you. The franchise mascot is the star of this Pikachu V box that was released last week.

A new 'Pokémon Sword' and 'Pokémon Shield' trailer revealed the Gigantamax forms of select Pokémon and their new moves. A fat Pikachu and a really long Meowth are notably part of the mix.

According to PokeGuardian, a site dedicated to the popular TCG, the new set will feature a classically designed Pikachu reminiscent of the Pokemon's original design in the late '90s.

With the announcement of his Gigantamax form in Pokemon Sword and Shield, the Pokemon Company is paying homage to the classic look. First, take a look at how Pikachu has evolved over time.

The latest trailer for the Switch Pokemon games shows off a handful of classic Gen 1 Pokemon that can Gigantamax, including Pikachu, Charizard, and a really long Meowth.
