Tap to open
Raikou 1st Edition #13 comes from Neo Revelation, the 2001 set that introduced the Legendary Beasts to the Pokemon TCG, and this Ken Sugimori illustration has stayed a favorite for anyone who grew up chasing that trio. As a rare card from a set that's over two decades old now, it carries real nostalgia weight alongside collector demand, and if you're here to figure out Raikou value, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $459 while a PSA 10 climbs all the way to $31,094. That gap alone tells you why this card gets talked about.

The collector's take on Raikou
Is Raikou worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Raikou sits at $459, a Grade 9 brings $1,356, and a PSA 10 sits at $31,094, which works out to about 67.7 times what the raw card is worth. That's a serious jump, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on a card this old, corners soften and centering drifts over twenty plus years of handling, so plenty of copies that look sharp to the eye come back as a 9 instead of a 10. Grading costs money and takes time regardless of the result, so if you're sending one in, do it because you already believe in the copy's condition, not because you're hoping the grade will save a rough card. For a lot of collectors, buying an already graded PSA 10 outright, even at that higher price, is the less stressful path.
How rare is Raikou?
Neo Revelation was a rare-tier set even back in 2001, and Raikou's spot in that lineup means it was never printed with the volume of a common or uncommon. We don't have a hard population count to point to here, but the price spread between raw and PSA 10 is itself a strong hint that clean, gem mint copies are genuinely scarce relative to demand. That scarcity is exactly why the top grade multiplies value the way it does. Fewer perfect copies exist than people who want one.
Where can you pull Raikou?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we've recorded Raikou pulled 116 times across packz, courtyard, collector-crypt and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $975. It's shown up in packs like the Pokemon Starter Pack, 30th Anniversary Day 1: Red, Bronze Pokemon Gacha Pack, noobie, and the Pokemon Uncommon Pack, so it's not confined to one single product. That said, most people chasing this card end up buying it on the secondary market rather than pulling it themselves, and it's worth remembering that opening packs is fundamentally a gamble where most rips don't come close to covering their cost. Our pull data just gives you a real, honest look at where and how often it actually surfaces.
Questions people ask
How much is Raikou worth?+
A raw or ungraded Raikou 1st Edition #13 is worth $459 right now. Once graded, that value climbs to $1,356 for a Grade 9 and up to $31,094 for a PSA 10, so condition and grading make a massive difference in what this card is actually worth.
Is Raikou worth grading?+
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sells for roughly 67.7 times the raw price of $459. But grading isn't free and hitting a 10 isn't guaranteed, so it's worth grading mainly if your copy already looks close to flawless in hand.
Why is the Raikou 1st Edition #13 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st edition cards from Neo Revelation were printed in a smaller early run before the standard reprint, which makes them scarcer and more desirable to collectors chasing that original release. That extra scarcity is a big part of why 1st edition copies carry a premium over the standard version.
