Warner Bros.' live-action Detective Pikachu movie hits cinema screens in a little less than a month, and those among the first to see it in theaters will be able to take home a little bonus. In a nice throwback to the days of the first Pokemon movies, fans who purchase a ticket to the film will receive a special Detective Pikachu Pokemon TCG promo card.
The card, which you can take a look at below, will be distributed at theaters on opening weekend, and it features Detective Pikachu--voiced in the film by Ryan Reynolds--drinking a cup of his favorite adult beverage, coffee. One of his moves is also a play on his love of caffeine. If you're hoping to get the card, however, you'll need to see the movie early, as The Pokemon Company says it'll only be available while supplies last.

Now Playing: Pokémon Detective Pikachu - Official Trailer #2
The Detective Pikachu card was announced as part of a new promotional video, which takes the form of a mock screen test showcasing numerous Pokemon that will appear in the movie, including a couple we haven't previously seen, like Purrloin and Torterra. You can watch the new video below.
Like the 3DS game that inspired it, the Detective Pikachu movie is set in Ryme City and follows the story of Tim (Justice Smith), whose famous private detective father has mysteriously gone missing. Tim has the unique ability to understand Pokemon, and he teams up with Pikachu to investigate his father's disappearance.
The Detective Pikachu movie premieres on May 10. It's directed by Rob Letterman (Goosebumps, Captain Underpants) and also stars Kathryn Newton (Blockers), Ken Watanabe (Godzilla, Inception), and Bill Nighy (Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows). While you're waiting for its release, be sure to check out our roundup of everything we know about the Detective Pikachu movie.
