# Raichu #056/217 — Ascended Heroes

## Summary

Raichu carries the weight of Pikachu's evolution, a Gen I favorite that gets less love than its pre-evolution, which gives it a steady, modest following. As an Uncommon in a set built around bigger chase pulls, it's a mid-tier slot for players and Iori Suzuki completists. The modelled guide sits at $0.22, up 16% over 30 days on 88 copies traded, with 1,641 days of inventory sitting on the board; a PSA 10 brings $200, 909 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
