What Is Raichu Worth?
Raichu (Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from Base Set, card number 014/102. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it carries real mid-range value and is worth keeping protected in a sleeve and top-loader.
Raichu Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Raichu (Base Set, 014/102) is worth around $63.74 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $63.74, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $10.38. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $63.74, Lightly Played $46.60, Moderately Played $24.28, Heavily Played $14.78, Damaged $10.38 — so grading the condition correctly before you buy or sell matters more than almost anything else. A PSA 10 (Gem Mint) example is valued near $2,500 — about 39x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $269.90.
Is It Worth Grading Raichu?
Grading Raichu can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($63.74) and a PSA 10 ($2,500) is about $2,436 — a 39x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $269.90, CGC 10 $449.99, CGC 9.5 $200.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
