The collector's take on Raichu
Is Raichu worth grading?
So is Raichu worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy runs $20, and a PSA 10 sits at $69, which works out to about 3.5x the raw price once it comes back gem mint. That's a real jump, but grading isn't free and it isn't a sure thing. You're paying submission fees either way, and out of all the copies sent in, only a portion come back as that perfect PSA 10. Interestingly, a Grade 9 copy of this card is actually valued higher than a PSA 10 right now at $199, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes don't always follow the pattern you'd expect. If you've got a copy that looks sharp with clean edges and centering, it can be worth sending in, but go in knowing the fees and the wait are real costs, not just a formality.
How rare is Raichu?
Across all grading companies, there are 629 total graded copies of Raichu #12 on record, and only 96 of those have earned the PSA 10 gem mint label. That tells you two things. First, this isn't a card that's flooding the population reports, so a graded copy already has some scarcity built in. Second, a true PSA 10 is a meaningfully smaller slice of that already-limited pool, which is part of why gem mint copies command the premium they do even on a card with a modest raw price.
Where can you pull Raichu?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack-opening sites rather than just guessing at odds. Raichu has been pulled 200 or more times across sites including tilt-rips, courtyard, lastpack, collector-crypt, packs, and mnstr, so it's a card that shows up with some regularity if you're opening product. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card sits at $1,025, which shows how much variance there can be depending on the copy and the moment. We've seen it turn up in Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Pokemon Premium Pack, and Pokemon Pro Pack style openings. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Raichu worth?+
A raw, ungraded Raichu #12 from Fire Red & Leaf Green is valued at $20 right now. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $199 and a PSA 10 at $69, so the exact worth really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Raichu worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 3.5x the $20 raw price. Just know that only 96 out of 629 total graded copies have hit that PSA 10 gem mint status, so it's not guaranteed, and grading fees are a real cost to weigh before sending a copy in.
How much is a PSA 10 Raichu worth?+
A PSA 10 Raichu #12 is currently valued at $69. That's a solid step up from the $20 raw price, though it's worth noting a Grade 9 copy is actually valued higher right now at $199, which shows how much grading outcomes can shift a card's price.
