What are the Scream Pokémon cards?
They are five Japanese promos, numbered 286 to 290/SM-P, each showing a Pokémon as the screaming figure on the bridge in Munch's painting, under the same swirling orange sky. They tie in with Munch: A Retrospective, which ran at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum from October 27, 2018 to January 20, 2019.
All five share one attack, called Scream, which leaves both players' Active Pokémon Confused. Each card was drawn by a different artist: Tomokazu Komiya (Psyduck), Atsuko Nishida (Eevee), You Iribi (Pikachu), Hasuno (Mimikyu) and Hideki Ishikawa (Rowlet).
The five Scream promos
How were the Scream promos given out?
Pikachu was only given to visitors of the exhibition itself, during its Pokémon Week from December 10 to 16, 2018, and only one per person. That is why it is the rarest of the five.
Mimikyu came inside a Scream mini card file sold from October 27, 2018. Psyduck, Eevee and Rowlet were free at Pokémon Center and Pokémon Store shops in Japan from November 2, 2018, with every purchase of two Pokémon card booster packs.
How much are the Scream Pokémon cards worth?
Pikachu is the most sought after, and the three Pokémon Center cards were the most widely available. Prices for these promos vary a lot between sellers and between graded and ungraded copies, so check recent sales for the exact card and condition before you buy. Pooka tracks the daily Cardmarket and eBay price of each one.
