Tap to open
Pikachu needs no introduction, and this particular version, the KFC promo #16/S-P from 2005, is one of those quirky pieces of Pokemon history that collectors love hunting down. It is a Common by rarity, illustrated by Yuka Morii, but its fast food restaurant tie-in gives it a story that goes beyond the card itself. If you are trying to pin down Pikachu value today, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $75, with graded versions climbing a lot higher from there.

The collector's take on Pikachu
Is Pikachu worth grading?
So is it worth sending this one in? The jump from raw to a PSA 10 is real: a Grade 9 sits at $147 while a true gem mint PSA 10 sits at $662, which works out to 8.8 times what the raw card sells for. That is a meaningful gap, but hitting a 10 on a promo like this is not guaranteed, print quality and centering on these older KFC promos can be inconsistent, and grading fees plus shipping and the waiting period all eat into your potential profit if the card comes back as a 9 or lower. If you already own a copy that looks sharp under a light, it is worth considering, but going in expecting a 10 every time is how collectors lose money on grading rather than make it.
How rare is Pikachu?
There is no population data published for this card, so instead of guessing at numbers, it helps to think about it in terms of context. This was a promotional giveaway tied to a fast food chain back in 2005, not a mainline set card, which means the print run and distribution were tied to a limited-time promotion rather than ongoing retail availability. That kind of scarcity tier, combined with Pikachu being the character every collector wants at least one of, is a big part of why the price holds up despite the Common rarity label.
Where can you pull Pikachu?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We have recorded this Pikachu pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, tilt-rips, mnstr, courtyard, packs, and lastpack, and the biggest recorded pull came in at $11,303. It has shown up in packs like the Celestial Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pack 5, and another Pokemon Starter Pack listing. That said, opening packs chasing any specific card is a gamble, and most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so treat this data as a guide to where it has appeared, not a promise of what you will pull.
Questions people ask
How much is Pikachu worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of this Pikachu KFC promo is worth $75. Once you factor in grading, the value shifts quite a bit, with a Grade 9 at $147 and a PSA 10 reaching $662.
Is Pikachu worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 8.8 times the raw price of $75. But gem mint copies are not easy to land on older promo cards, so weigh the grading cost and risk against what you are likely to get back before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Pikachu worth?+
A PSA 10 graded copy of this Pikachu KFC promo is currently valued at $662, well above the $75 raw price and the $147 Grade 9 price.
