Name: Pikachu

AKA: Gold Rank Pikachu

Release Date: 2008/October

Expansion / Set: DPt-P Promotional Cards

Released Through: Pokémon Daisuki Club

Card #: 016/DPt-P

Approx. Value: $150.00 - $200.00

Notes:

This card could be redeemed by members of the Pokémon Daisuki (I Love Pokémon) Club, who reached Gold Rank status. A member must acquire 1200 AP (Action Points) to gain Gold Rank status. The Pokémon Daisuki Club replaced the Pokémon Players Club in April 2008, along with changing the EXP (Experience Points) system to the AP system.

 

During the initial start of the Pokémon Daisuki Club, no prize card were available until October of 2008 with this card being the first. Later during the end of the Dpt era Cresselia & Darkrai surfaced as prize cards for members who reached Super Rank status. These 3 cards were only available until about September of 2009 when the "DPt-P" promo cards were being replaced by "L-P" promo cards. All 3 cards were reprinted as L-P promo cards. Due to the short time given to reach Gold Rank status before the "L-P" versions were released, these "DPt-P" versions are very rare and hard to find.

A member could get Action Points by going to events, playing in tournaments, entering contests, answering surveys, quizzes, etc. As members acquired points, they would also advance to a higher rank, and be awarded a prize card.
