Pikachu needs no introduction, and the CoroCoro #25 promo is one of those cards that turns heads the second someone recognizes it. It comes from the Japanese Promo set, distributed through CoroCoro magazine, and that kind of magazine-exclusive history is exactly why collectors chase it decades later. If you're trying to pin down Pikachu's value today, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $1,200, but the real story is in what happens once one gets graded.

The collector's take on Pikachu

Is Pikachu worth grading?

Here's where it gets interesting. A raw, ungraded Pikachu sits at $1,200, and a Grade 9 comes in at just $22, which tells you how much weight the market puts on that top slot. A PSA 10 is where the real money lives, at $65,141, which works out to 54.3 times the raw price. That's a massive gap, and it exists because gem mint copies of a card this old and this handled are genuinely hard to find in perfect shape. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10, so before you send one off, look closely at the corners, the surface, and the centering yourself. If it looks clean under good light, it might be worth the shot. If it's got soft corners or print lines, save your grading fee and enjoy it raw.

How rare is Pikachu?

Across every grading company combined, there are 936 graded copies of this Pikachu in existence, which is a fairly tight number for a card this iconic. When you consider that pool has to stretch across every grade from heavily played up through pristine PSA 10, it becomes clear why gem mint copies are the ones commanding real money. Scarcity at the very top of the grading scale is what drives that 54.3x jump from raw to PSA 10, and it's a good reminder that population reports matter just as much as the card itself.

Where can you pull Pikachu?

This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, because we track real pulls across pack sites, not just price guide estimates. We've recorded this Pikachu pulled 44 times across collector-crypt and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $9,800. It's shown up in packs like the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Celestial Pokémon Gacha Pack, Grail Pokémon Gacha Pack, Mythic Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pack 3. Worth saying plainly: pack opening is gambling, and most rips don't come close to hitting a card like this, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than the plan.

Questions people ask

A raw, ungraded Pikachu CoroCoro #25 is worth $1,200 right now. Grade it to a PSA 10 and that number jumps to $65,141, while a Grade 9 sits at $22, showing just how much the top grade matters for this card's value.

Is Pikachu worth grading?+

It depends entirely on the condition of your copy. The gap between raw at $1,200 and PSA 10 at $65,141 is huge, 54.3 times the raw price, but hitting that gem mint grade isn't guaranteed, so only send in copies that genuinely look flawless.

What set is Pikachu from?+
