Pikachu 2026 Pokemon Day #51 Value
Temporal Forces · Card 51/218 · Common · 2024
Pikachu needs no introduction, and this particular version, the 2026 Pokemon Day #51 card from the Temporal Forces set, is a lovely little tribute to the character that got most of us into this hobby in the first place. Released in 2024 and illustrated by kodama, it's a Common card, which means it was never meant to be rare, but that hasn't stopped collectors from chasing clean copies of it. If you're here checking Pikachu value or trying to figure out Pikachu price before buying or selling, the short answer is that raw copies sit around $5 while a top graded example can climb into the hundreds.

Pikachu — collector's take
Is Pikachu worth grading?
So is Pikachu worth grading? Let's talk numbers first: a raw copy sits at $5, a Grade 9 brings $28, and a PSA 10 sits at $347, which works out to 73.0x what the raw card sells for. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of multiple that gets collectors excited about sending cards in. But here's the honest part: hitting a PSA 10 on a Common card isn't guaranteed just because the card is inexpensive. Print lines, centering, and edge wear on modern cards can all knock a copy down to a 9, and grading fees eat into your margin regardless of what comes back. If you've got a copy that looks genuinely flawless under a light, it's worth considering. If it's just decent, the safer move is often to sell it raw and not gamble the grading fee on a coin flip.
How rare is it?
We don't have hard population numbers to share for this one yet, but the rarity tier itself tells a useful story. As a Common from Temporal Forces, Pikachu was printed in the kind of volume that keeps raw supply steady and prices accessible, which is exactly why the $5 price tag makes sense. The real scarcity here isn't about how many copies exist, it's about how many survive in gem mint condition. Modern cards go through a lot of handling before they ever reach a top loader, so genuinely flawless copies are the minority even within a common print run, and that's what keeps the PSA 10 price meaningfully higher than the rest of the pack.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we don't just guess at this stuff, we track real pulls across pack sites. Pikachu has been recorded pulled 200 or more times across packs, courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and mnstr, and the biggest recorded pull came in at $10,903. If you're chasing this one, it's shown up in packs like Pikachu, I choose you!, the Pokémon Starter Pack, the Pokémon Pro Pack, the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Elemental Legends: Fire & Electric. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble in either direction, most rips don't hit anywhere near that top number, so treat pack odds as entertainment first and a value strategy a distant second.
