Pichu #25

Pichu is a Basic card from the Arceus set (card #25). It carries a rarity of Rare, placing it in the standard tier of desirability within this expansion. As a Lightning-type Pokémon, Pichu brings distinct strategic advantages to TCG gameplay.

Lightning-type Pokémon excel at paralysis and fast energy attachment. They counter Water decks effectively.

Pichu is a Basic Pokémon, meaning it can be played directly onto the bench without needing to evolve. Basic Pokémon form the foundation of any deck and are essential for getting your game started.

With 50 HP, Pichu has modest HP, typical of lower-stage or support Pokémon that rely on abilities rather than raw stats.

At $10.52, Pichu is a meaningful card in the Arceus set. This price point makes it a worthwhile grading candidate — a PSA 10 could potentially double or triple the raw value. Use a grading estimator to assess whether submission is worth the cost.

From an investment perspective, Pichu benefits from being a Rare card in the Arceus expansion. Cards from popular sets with iconic Pokémon tend to appreciate 15-30% annually once the set goes out of print. Monitor price trends and consider grading valuable copies for maximum resale value.
