Where this card came from
Pikachu & Zekrom GX is a Japanese promo card, as part of 5th Anniversary Stamped. It carries the card number 157/SV-P, from the SV-P-series Japanese promo line.
Promo cards are not sold in booster boxes. They reach collectors through a specific campaign — a store, a museum, a film, an anniversary or a championship — which is why the printed number is the only reliable identifier: the same Pokémon can appear on dozens of promo cards across the same era, and the number is what separates them.
That is also why this card appears in our celebration, collaboration and event index rather than in a set list: nothing here came out of a booster box.
