What Is Pikachu Worth?
Pikachu is a Common card from the POP Series 2 set, card number 016/017. 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.
Pikachu Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Pikachu (POP Series 2, 016/017) is worth around $33.69 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $33.69, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $11.21. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $33.69, Lightly Played $21.68, Moderately Played $17.24, Heavily Played $11.70, Damaged $11.21 — 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 $209.00 — about 6.2x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $41.00.
Is It Worth Grading Pikachu?
Grading Pikachu can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($33.69) and a PSA 10 ($209.00) is about $175.31 — a 6.2x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $41.00, CGC 10 $92.00, CGC 9.5 $30.00. Grading is worth considering if your copy looks clean — the PSA 10 premium can comfortably clear the fee.
