# Pikachu #2/30 — HS trainer Kit (Raichu)

## Summary

Pikachu from the HS Trainer Kit is a teaching card, built to hand newcomers a working deck rather than a lottery ticket, so there was never a chase slot here. The mascot's endless pull keeps collectors curious, but the kit's modest, beginner-oriented role sets the ceiling. At an $11 modelled guide, with 1 copy traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.31 out of Temporal Forces; no PSA population is on file.
