How far apart are the Raichu prints in price?

This name was printed 110 times across different sets. Some share the very same artwork in a different edition; others carry different art or different attacks under the same name. Set, rarity and version, not the Pokémon, decide the gap between them.

Bar height and the number above each bar = prints that year; the two digits below = the year.

Bars are measured against the dearest print, Shining Raichu 111/105 at $445.00.

110 prints carry this name, and every one of them that has a price is shown above

The cards themselves are identical. Same 100 HP, same attacks. What splits the price is not the card but which box it came out of — the rarity mark and the size of the set together decide how hard one was to pull.

Put the rarity marks and the set sizes side by side and the order explains itself: the smaller the set and the scarcer the mark, the dearer the print.

These are the 12 dearest of the 185 cards credited to Mizue in this archive, not the whole set. Cards with no price on the snapshot day cannot be ranked and are left out of the ordering.

Mizue is credited on 185 cards in this archive. The prints above are the ones that currently carry the highest prices, which is the quickest way to see the kind of card this artist tends to be given.

An illustrator is a way of sorting cards, not a reason for their price. Buying another card by the same hand does not carry the price across — what makes the price is the Pokémon, the rarity and the year, and the numbers for that sit in the ranking section.

Raichu BW78 in depth — what the numbers mean

The figures from the sections above, tied together once more.

What makes the price of Raichu

  1. Raichu — the Pokémon this card is, and the group it is ranked inside
  2. Promo — BW Black Star Promos, so supply came from how that promotion was handed out rather than from a pull rate
  3. Illustrated by Mizue — a sorting axis, not a price driver
  4. Stage 1 — the class it was printed as, and the group its price is measured against

What holds the price where it is

  • A card that anything can remove in one turn is a card fewer decks carry, and demand is part of what a price is

Which Pokémon cards moved most since yesterday?

Measured across 30,444 priced cards between August 13, 2026 and August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 and moves under half a percent are left out, because rounding alone can produce them.

Biggest gains since yesterday

Biggest falls since yesterday

Both lists are recalculated once a day, after the source archive is refreshed — the readings compared here are August 13, 2026 against August 14, 2026. Cards under $5 are left out of the ranking, because a one-cent move on a card worth a few cents becomes a double-digit percentage and would bury everything else.

Raichu BW78 price — frequently asked questions

How much is Raichu BW78 worth?

Raichu BW78 has no recorded market price on the latest snapshot, so no ungraded value can be quoted yet.

Is Raichu BW78 rare?

Raichu BW78 is a Promo, which means it was handed out through a promotion rather than pulled from a booster pack of a numbered set. It carries no set number of its own, so scarcity came from how that promotion was run.

Why is another Raichu selling for much more?

Raichu was printed in 110 different sets. The artwork looks alike, but the set name and the card number under the picture are different, and so is the price. Check the number before you buy.

Should I get Raichu graded?

No grading figure for Raichu BW78 is published here. Graded prices and population counts come from paid grading services under commercial plans that are not in use on this site, so the question cannot be answered with data. What can be said is the ungraded price above, which is the floor any grading decision starts from.

Is the German or French Raichu cheaper?

No. The six European language printings of Raichu share one product record, so they trade at the same price. Only the Japanese release is a separate card, because Japan uses a different set and numbering system.

Does tournament play affect what Raichu BW78 sells for?

Yes, and mostly by keeping it out. Raichu BW78 is legal in Unlimited and Expanded only, so it is not bought to fill a competitive deck — its price is set by collectors instead, which is why it moves with condition and print rather than with the season's results.

Do these Raichu prices include shipping or tax?

No. Every figure on this page is the listed price of Raichu BW78 itself. Shipping, import duty and marketplace fees are added on top by the seller.

How often does the Raichu BW78 price update?

Once a day, once a market snapshot exists. No daily reading has been recorded for Raichu BW78 yet.
