What Is Raichu Worth?
Raichu (Reverse_Holofoil variant) is a holographic rare from XY Base Set, card number 43/146. 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 (XY Base Set, 43/146) is worth around $1.25 in Near Mint condition.
