What Is Raichu Worth?
Raichu (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from SM - Burning Shadows, card number 41/147. On PokeCardWorth we focus on one question — what is it actually worth — and at its current valuation, it is an affordable, easy-to-find card best valued as part of a complete set rather than on its own.
Raichu Value Breakdown
As of 2026, Raichu (SM - Burning Shadows, 41/147) is worth around $0.94 in Near Mint condition. Condition drives the price hard: a Near Mint copy is worth about $0.94, while a Damaged one drops to roughly $0.26. The full condition ladder runs Near Mint $0.94, Lightly Played $0.84, Moderately Played $0.63, Heavily Played $0.46, Damaged $0.26 — 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 $74.90 — about 80x the raw price, which is the single biggest swing in this card's value. PSA 9 copies sit around $29.64.
Is It Worth Grading Raichu?
Grading Raichu can pay off concretely: the gap between its raw value ($0.94) and a PSA 10 ($74.90) is about $73.96 — a 80x uplift before grading fees. Other graded tiers we track: PSA 9 $29.64, PSA 8 $11.50. At this value grading rarely makes sense — the fee usually exceeds the card's worth.
