Pikachu · 151 cards · 1999–2026

How much is a Pikachu card worth?

Pikachu has appeared on 151 different English cards since 1999 — across 83 sets and 27 years of printing. The first was Pikachu in Base, 9 January 1999, drawn by Mitsuhiro Arita in the very first English sets. It has carried 7 of the game's card types over the years — V, ex, owner’s card, VMAX — and a collector will pay wildly different money for each.

What we pay is a different number. These are TCGplayer market prices, worked out from recent sales between collectors, read 2026-09-08. What a buyer pays is always less than what a collector pays, and it turns on the condition of the card in your hand — which is why you get our number on the phone, in one call, before anything is posted.

What decides the number

Five things about your Pikachu, in order of how much they matter.

  1. Which printing. Pikachu spans 83 sets, from Base in 1999 to Ascended Heroes in 2026, and the set symbol beside the picture is what tells one from another before anything else about the card is worth discussing.
  2. First edition and shadowless. 8 of the 151 date from 1999–2000, and on a Pikachu of that age the small “1 Edition” stamp left of the art, or a frame throwing no drop shadow down the right of the picture, is worth more than everything else on this list put together.
  3. Which card type. A Pikachu V and a Pikachu ex are different cards that happen to share a name — Pikachu has been printed as 7 types in all, so the word beside Pikachu at the top decides which of the 151 you own.
  4. Promo stamps. 53 of the 151 Pikachu cards were promos rather than pack pulls, and a black star, a tournament stamp or a set-launch mark in the corner is what turns an otherwise ordinary Pikachu into the scarce one.
  5. The Delta Species ones. 4 Pikachu cards carry the Delta Species treatment, printed deliberately short — if the word Delta Species sits before Pikachu on your card, that is the first thing to tell us.
  • Most Pikachu cards are Promo — 53 of the 151.
  • Mitsuhiro Arita has illustrated Pikachu more than anyone else, 8 times.
  • SM Black Star Promos carries the most Pikachu cards of any single set (20).
  • Pikachu has been printed under 7 card types: V, ex (modern), owner’s card, VMAX, Tag Team, Delta Species.
  • 8 of the 151 Pikachu cards come from 1999–2000, the printings collectors ask after most.
  • 64 different illustrators have drawn Pikachu.
  • 27 years separate the first Pikachu card from the newest.
