Pikachu #17 comes from the Korean Clay Burst set, released back in 2023, and it's one of those cards that just makes people smile when they see it in a binder, no matter how many times they've pulled it before. It carries no special rarity marking, illustrated by Saino Misaki, which keeps it approachable and easy to find, and if you're here checking Pikachu's value, the short answer is that it sits at the affordable end of the spectrum, with real room to climb if you land a sharp copy.

The collector's take on Pikachu
Is Pikachu worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown: a raw, ungraded Pikachu #17 sits around $1, a Grade 9 brings that up to $12, and a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $34, which works out to about 29.5x the raw price. That's a real jump, but it's worth being clear-eyed about what grading actually costs and how long it takes, plus the fact that hitting a true gem mint isn't guaranteed even on a card that looks perfect to the naked eye. For a card starting at $1, grading can make sense if you already love the card or want to test your eye for centering and edges, but treat it as a hobby decision more than a guaranteed profit play.
How rare is Pikachu?
Pikachu #17 doesn't carry a special rarity tag, which tells you it was printed to be seen often rather than chased hard, and that's exactly why the raw price stays modest. Cards without a rarity marking usually come from a set's more common print run, so there are plenty of copies floating around in various conditions. That wide availability is also why a PSA 10 commands such a noticeable premium over the raw card: gem mint condition is genuinely harder to hit than it looks, even on a common card, and that scarcity in top grades is where the real value lives.
Where can you pull Pikachu?
This is where PackSpy's live tracking actually earns its keep, because we've recorded Pikachu #17 pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, courtyard, packs, lastpack, tilt-rips, and mnstr, so we know it shows up with real regularity rather than guessing from a price guide. It's been seen coming out of the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, and Wildcard Basic Pack, so if you're chasing it specifically, those are the names to watch. The biggest recorded pull tied to this card hit $11,303, which is a striking outlier worth remembering, most rips land nowhere near that, and opening packs chasing a specific card is still a gamble where the odds favor the house more often than not.
Questions people ask

Is Pikachu worth grading?+
It can be, if you're patient and enjoy the process, since a PSA 10 is worth $34 compared to $1 raw, a 29.5x jump. Just factor in grading fees and turnaround time, since gem mint isn't guaranteed even on a clean-looking copy.
How much is a PSA 10 Pikachu worth?+
A PSA 10 gem mint Pikachu #17 is valued at $34, while a Grade 9 comes in at $12. That gap shows how much collectors reward a perfect grade even on a card without a special rarity tier.
