Raichu (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility
Raichu (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition variant sits at the most plentiful end of the rarity scale — easy to pull and easy to find. Cataloged as Common #011/032 of the CP3: PokeKyun Collection set, it is the kind of card RarePokemonCard tracks for scarcity and collector demand rather than raw price alone. The harder a card is to pull in top condition, the more weight serious collectors place on it.
How Rare & Valuable Is Raichu (Japanese)?
In 2026, a Near Mint Raichu (Japanese) (Common, CP3: PokeKyun Collection #011/032) changes hands at roughly $26.16, and availability keeps it within easy reach for collectors. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $26.16, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $19.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $26.16, Lightly Played $23.40, Moderately Played $19.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Raichu (Japanese) is valued near $179.99 — about 6.9x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Raichu (Japanese): Gem Mint & Population
Even for a card at this rarity, the top of the market belongs to certified gem-mint copies. A PSA 10 (or CGC 10 / BGS Black Label equivalent) Raichu (Japanese) sits around $179.99 — roughly 6.9x a raw copy. That gap exists because relatively few examples ever earn a perfect grade, so gem-mint population is the real scarcity collectors chase. Step down a notch and demand spreads across PSA 9 $83.99, CGC 10 $175.00, PSA 8 $22.32 — each tier a smaller, scarcer pool than the one below it. The rule of thumb for collectors: the rarer the card, the more a certified high grade matters to its standing.
