Chikorita #54 value & price

Tap to open
Chikorita is one of those cards that takes you right back to the very beginning, a simple grass-type common from Neo Genesis released back in 2000, drawn by Ken Sugimori in that clean, early style that so many of us fell in love with. It's card #54, nothing flashy on paper, but if you're here checking Chikorita value you already know there's more to the story than the word common suggests. Twenty plus years on, this little starter still has a real, trackable market, and that's exactly what we're going to walk through.

The collector's take on Chikorita
Is Chikorita worth grading?
So is Chikorita worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw, ungraded copy sits around $2, while a PSA 10 brings $234, which works out to about 108.8 times the raw price. That's a genuinely striking multiplier for a common card. But before you rush to send one in, remember that gem mint is a high bar, especially on a card this old, with 22 years of handling, print lines, and centering issues working against it. A Grade 9 lands at $499 in this case, actually higher than the PSA 10 figure, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes and market pricing don't always move in the direction you'd expect. Factor in grading fees, turnaround time, and the very real chance your copy comes back a 7 or 8 instead of a 10, and grading starts to look less like a sure thing and more like a calculated bet. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, it can be worth the gamble. If it's got visible wear, you're probably better off enjoying it raw.
How rare is Chikorita?
Across all grading services, there are 1,291 total graded copies of Chikorita on record, and of those, only 274 have earned that coveted PSA 10 label. That means gem mint copies make up a fairly small slice of an already modest population, roughly one in five graded copies reaching the top grade. For a common card from a set as old as Neo Genesis, that tells you something about how tough clean centering and sharp corners can be to find after two decades of collectors handling, trading, and storing these things in binders and shoeboxes. It's not a scarce card by any means, but true gem mint scarcity is real here, and that's a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw number.
Where can you pull Chikorita?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just relying on price guides. We've recorded Chikorita pulled 124 times across tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, and general packs, with a biggest recorded pull value of $129 for a lucky rip. It's shown up in mixes like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Radiant Pack, so it's not a card you can target directly, more something that turns up as a nice surprise in broader Pokemon-themed openings. Worth saying plainly: opening packs for value is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to what you paid, so treat any Chikorita pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Chikorita worth?+
A raw, ungraded Chikorita from Neo Genesis currently sits around $2. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $499 and a PSA 10 at $234, so condition and certification make a real difference to Chikorita price.
Is Chikorita worth grading?+
It can be, given the PSA 10 price is about 108.8 times the raw value, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on a card this old. Only 274 of the 1,291 total graded copies have reached PSA 10, so weigh the grading cost and risk against your copy's actual condition before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Chikorita worth?+
A PSA 10 Chikorita is valued at $234, which reflects both its gem mint condition and its place among just 274 PSA 10 copies out of 1,291 graded total. Interestingly, Grade 9 copies have actually traded higher at $499, so it's worth checking current listings before assuming PSA 10 always means top dollar.
