Pikachu (Japanese): Rarity & Collectibility

Pikachu (Japanese) in its sought-after 1st_Edition_Holofoil variant is an Ultra Rare chase card, one of the headline pulls that most boosters never produce. Cataloged as Ultra Rare #088/090 of the Pt2: Bonds to the End of Time 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 Pikachu (Japanese)?

In 2026, a Near Mint Pikachu (Japanese) (Ultra Rare, Pt2: Bonds to the End of Time #088/090) changes hands at roughly $0.25, and its scarcity does most of the heavy lifting on that figure. Because demand concentrates on clean copies, surface wear is punished hard: a Near Mint example commands about $0.25, whereas a Moderately Played one slides to around $29.99. Across the wear scale that reads Near Mint $0.25, Lightly Played $34.97, Moderately Played $29.99 — proof that for a collectible like this, presentation is inseparable from value.
