Pachirisu in the games

Pachirisu is the EleSquirrel Pokémon, a small, white, squirrel-like Electric type related to the Pikachu line, with a faint blueish tint and a light blue stripe running from its forehead to the tip of its tail. Its tail, almost twice as big as its body, ends in three spikes it can use to shoot electric charges, and it can run incredibly fast on short legs to tire out pursuing Pokémon. When it sleeps, it curls its big, fluffy tail to the front of its body and uses it as a pillow, grooming and chasing it when awake, and it is the only Pokémon that can learn Hyper Fang without being a Normal type, as well as the only non-evolutionary-line Pokémon allowed in Amity Square. Pachirisu also holds the lowest base stat total of any Pokémon that was part of a winning World Championships team.

Pachirisu card value

Pachirisu card value is packed into a very small group: the ten leading cards hold 97 percent of the total, and the most valuable Pachirisu card is the Common from the DP Black Star Promos set, released in 2007. Every one of the 19 Pachirisu cards carries a market value, and they span the years 2007 to 2025, so a handful of prints set the market for the species.

What makes the top Pachirisu cards valuable

The DP Black Star Promos Common from 2007 is about equal to the next card, the Rare Holo from Great Encounters in 2008, so the most valuable Pachirisu cards open with a near tie. A holo is a card with a foil-patterned artwork box. Third comes the Illustration rare from Scarlet & Violet in 2023, a modern chase rarity, followed by the Holo Rare from Call of Legends in 2011 and the Rare from POP Series 6 in 2007.

Pachirisu cards by era

Of the twenty-five leading Pachirisu cards, 5 come from Diamond & Pearl and 4 from Scarlet & Violet, with 2 each from EX, Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield. The newest era's leader is the Mega Evolution Pachirisu from 2025, which sits 15th overall. Vintage here means the WOTC era, and modern is every later era: all 10 of the leading cards and all 19 of the twenty-five leaders counted by the era split are modern.

Rarities and prints among the top Pachirisu cards

Among the ten leading Pachirisu cards, the printed rarities are 2 Common, 2 Rare and 2 Uncommon, with one each of Holo Rare, Illustration rare, Rare Holo and Shiny rare. Widened to the twenty-five leaders, Common accounts for 7 cards and Uncommon for 4, alongside 3 Rare, and one each of Holo Rare, Illustration rare, Promo, Rare Holo and Shiny rare.

How Pachirisu cards compare with other Pokémon

By the value of its single leading card, Pachirisu ranks 482nd of 1020 species with priced cards. By the combined value of its ten leaders it ranks 312nd of 753. That places Pachirisu in the middle of the field on its top card and somewhat higher on its ten-card total, and with 97 percent of value in the ten leaders, the card market is built on a narrow set of prints rather than a broad spread.
