# Raichu #55/214 — Unbroken Bonds

## Summary

Raichu carries the steady fan affection of Pikachu's evolution, and this Unbroken Bonds Rare sat mid-tier in a Lightning-heavy set, where its energy-recovery comeback attack suited Pikachu-and-Zekrom style lists. Shin Nagasawa's name adds a modest illustrator pull for collectors who track artists. A $0.59 modelled guide with 13 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the tape reads as a floor forming near the lows, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.21 out of Ascended Heroes.
