Now i’m sure I remember reading a couple of years back about a Pokemon Pikachu promo (I think it was Pikachu) released in 2011 during the Tsunami meaning it was never distributed properly. I seem to recall it was like a camping Pikachu toyota promotional card or something of that nature. Someone posted a link to some sort of Japanese Pokemon blog that had the article and picture of the card in question. Does anyone know what i’m on about?
You’re most likely referring to the Japenese promos BW25-31, namely Druddigon and Emolga. You can read about them in this discussion here:

For further information you can see:
This 2011 thread on the cards that temporarily appeared for sale before being removed and the listing cancelled:

No, I think he’s talking about the YOU Wagon XY-P promo instead, @funmonkey54 :
Here are the articles you’re probably talking about, @theeucollector:

If anyone knows where to find this card, please let me know. I’d love to add it to my collection.

that’s the one!
@quaador
Ah, right! Thanks!
I’m thinking there shouldn’t be so many cards not released because of tsunamis. What do you think?
such a cool piece can’t say i’ve seen it here before, must be quite rare.
I’ve never seen this card on eBay or on YJ but I remember seeing the artist’s who made this card post on Twitter with photo of the card so yeah, it’s been released but I have no idea how many copies of this card were made : /
edit: lol ok, now I see that the article on pokeboon has this twitter post linked :'D
