Priciest first

Every Pikachu we price

26 of the 285 printings we can name are in sets we hold prices for. Tap a card to see it full size.

Prices are pricecharting.com's price guide value for an ungraded copy, read August 31, 2026. A guide value is computed across the sales PriceCharting tracks, which is a wider set of venues than any one marketplace. 2 cards of the 5,396 priced here are not listed by PriceCharting and keep their TCGplayer market price via TCGdex instead. Where a card comes as a normal, holo and reverse holo at different prices, the figure is the priciest of them. Prices move daily, so treat these as a ballpark. Search every card.

Evolution

The Pichu line

Pichu, which becomes Pikachu, which becomes Raichu. Each one has its own page and its own cards. The evolution chart draws every line in the Pokedex.

Evolution line from the National Pokedex, pokeapi.co, read August 13, 2026. What each evolution actually takes differs between generations, so it is not stated here. Card counts are every printing we can name, in every language.
