# Pikachu ex (皮卡丘ex) (Chinese) #258 — CSV9.5C (太晶盛聚)

## Summary

Landing in June 2026, the Simplified Chinese Pikachu ex from CSV9.5C is a gold Ultra Rare, and that top slot makes it the set's chase card from the first day of release. The whole card is covered in metallic gold foil, with Pikachu grinning at the centre amid a burst of crystalline, rainbow-edged shards. Pikachu ex draws mainland players and collectors alike, and the Chinese edition rarely turns up outside China. The modelled guide sits at $21 with 28 copies traded in 30 days; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $69 against $45 in grading fees.
