Pichu: Rarity & Collectibility
Pichu is an Uncommon, slightly scarcer than the base cards but still widely available. Cataloged as Uncommon #011/017 of the POP Series 9 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 Pichu?
In 2026, a Near Mint Pichu (Uncommon, POP Series 9 #011/017) changes hands at roughly $15.98, 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 $15.98, whereas a Damaged one slides to around $5.54. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $15.98, Lightly Played $11.64, Moderately Played $9.56, Heavily Played $7.37, Damaged $5.54 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value. At the very top, a gem-mint PSA 10 Pichu is valued near $120.00 — about 7.5x the raw copy, the clearest sign of how much collectors pay for flawless scarcity.
Graded Pichu: 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) Pichu sits around $120.00 — roughly 7.5x 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 $25.03, PSA 8 $24.50 — 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.
