Raichu #237 comes from the Japanese Shiny Treasure ex set, and it's one of those cards that just makes collectors smile the second they see it pulled. Part of the charm is that electric yellow shine paired with a nostalgic favorite, and if you're here checking Raichu value, the short answer is that raw copies sit around $10 while a pristine PSA 10 can climb all the way to $1,242. That kind of spread is exactly why so many people ask how much is Raichu worth before they decide whether to grade, sell, or just enjoy the card as is.

The collector's take on Raichu
Is Raichu worth grading?
So, is Raichu worth grading? Look at the math: a raw copy runs about $10, but a PSA 10 sits at $1,242, which works out to roughly 128.7 times the raw price. That's a serious jump, and it's the number that gets people excited. But here's the honest part: grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. A Grade 9 lands at $134, which is still solid, but nowhere close to the PSA 10 payout. Before you send one in, take a hard look at the corners and centering under good light, because that gap between a 9 and a 10 is where most of the value lives.
How rare is Raichu?
There are 2,931 total graded copies of Raichu on record, and out of those, 2,494 have earned a PSA 10. That's a big chunk sitting at the top grade, which tells you this particular card tends to grade well when it's in decent shape to begin with. It also means the PSA 10 price isn't driven by extreme scarcity at the top end, it's more about steady demand for a clean copy of a well loved card. Still, with under 3,000 graded total, Raichu isn't exactly common either, and that keeps interest in both raw and graded copies fairly consistent.
Where can you pull Raichu?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we log real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. Raichu has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, lastpack, collector-crypt, packs, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $1,025. Collectors have found it in the Pokemon Premium Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and the Wildcard Starter Pack, among others. That said, opening packs is still a gamble, and most rips don't come close to paying for themselves, so treat any pull as a nice surprise rather than an expectation.
Questions people ask
How much is Raichu worth?+
A raw, ungraded Raichu is valued at $10. Once graded, the number climbs quickly, with a Grade 9 sitting at $134 and a PSA 10 reaching $1,242. So the real answer depends on the condition and whether it's been graded at all.
Is Raichu worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 is worth about 128.7 times the raw price. But grading isn't free or guaranteed, and with only 2,494 PSA 10s out of 2,931 total graded copies, you're aiming for a specific, high bar of condition before it's worth the risk.
How much is a PSA 10 Raichu worth?+
A PSA 10 Raichu is currently valued at $1,242, which reflects its gem mint status and strong demand among collectors. That's a big step up from the $10 raw price, and it's the number most people are chasing when they send a copy in for grading.
