# Raichu #12/108 — Power Keepers

## Summary

Raichu carries the Pikachu halo, so even a mid-tier Rare from the EX era draws collectors who want every Gen I Electric mouse in one binder. Its Plasma attack kept energy flowing, and Hajime Kusajima's name gives completists of that illustrator's long run a second reason to look. The modelled guide sits at $34, up 8% over 30 days on 10 copies traded, with 121 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $289, 8.5 times raw, but PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
