Tap to open
Chikorita #1 comes from the Japanese Meganium Starter Deck, a set that made its way to collectors back in 2016, and it's a card that a lot of people remember fondly even though it's a simple Common. Akira Komayama's artwork gives this little grass starter a lot of charm for something that never had big rarity behind it. If you're trying to pin down Chikorita value, the short answer is that it's an affordable card in raw form but one that can get genuinely interesting once graded.

The collector's take on Chikorita
Is Chikorita worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded Chikorita sits around $4, while a PSA 10 has been valued at $203, which works out to about 54.0x the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of number that tempts a lot of collectors into sending cards off to grading companies. But gem mint isn't a given. Centering, edge wear, and surface flaws on a Common like this can easily keep it out of that top grade, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time add up whether or not you land a 10. A Grade 9 copy still lands at $43, which is a solid outcome, but it's a long way from the PSA 10 number. If you've got a copy that looks sharp in hand, grading can make sense. If it's got visible wear, you might be better off enjoying it raw or trading it as is.
How rare is Chikorita?
Chikorita carries a Common rarity, which tells you plenty on its own: this was never printed as a scarce chase card, and Starter Decks like Meganium tend to have healthy print runs since they're built for accessibility, not scarcity. That means the value here isn't coming from a tiny population of copies in existence. It's coming from condition. Common cards from 2016 that have sat in binders or bulk boxes for years often show wear, so a truly clean, gem mint copy becomes the rare part of the equation, not the card itself. That's really the story behind why a PSA 10 can command $203 while raw copies stay closer to $4.
Where can you pull Chikorita?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack-opening sites rather than relying on guesswork. We've recorded Chikorita pulled 124 times across platforms like tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, plus general pack openings, with the biggest recorded pull for this card coming in at $129. It's shown up in a mix of packs including the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Radiant Pack. Worth remembering: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come out ahead financially, but Chikorita is at least a card that turns up often enough to know where to look if you're chasing one.
Questions people ask
How much is Chikorita worth?+
A raw, ungraded Chikorita #1 from the Meganium Starter Deck is valued around $4. It's a Common card, so the price stays modest unless you get into graded copies, where the value climbs significantly.
Is Chikorita worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 is worth 54.0x the raw price. But gem mint copies are genuinely hard to hit, and grading costs money regardless of outcome, so it's worth checking your card's condition closely before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Chikorita worth?+
A PSA 10 Chikorita has been valued at $203, a big step up from the $4 raw price and the $43 Grade 9 price. That gap shows just how much condition matters for this Common card.
