# Pikachu ex #054/128 — 30th Celebration

## Summary

Pikachu ex is the mascot dressed for tournament play, and its Energy-acceleration attack was built to get Lightning decks moving at speed. As a Double Rare in a celebration set, it is a mid-tier pull, which keeps Pikachu fans interested without the pressure of a true chase slot. The sold median sits at $1.37, down 22% over 30 days on 3,267 copies traded, with only 2 days of inventory on the board; no PSA population is on file, and a CGC 10 would fetch about $37 against $45 in grading fees, so the only money in this card is finishing a set, not a slab.
