The most valuable Pikachu cards, and what they sell for
We track 311 cards with Pikachu in the name, in English and Japanese. The Gold Star Pikachu leads at about £1,425, ahead of the Japanese Pikachu & Zekrom GX. Here's the top 12 by price.
Pikachu is on more cards than almost any other Pokémon. We track 311 cards with Pikachu in the name, 81 of them Japanese, and the most valuable are a mix of old rarities, promos and modern special arts.
The list is ranked by the European and US market price, so every card is measured the same way. Most of these cards rarely sell in the UK, so the price column shows UK sales only where we have them. Card pages have today's numbers.

The Gold Star still leads
The Pikachu Star from Holon Phantoms is a Gold Star card, one of the rarest kinds of card from the EX era. At about £1,425 it's the most valuable English Pikachu we track. Copies come up so rarely in the UK that we don't have a UK price for it.
Promos punch above their weight
Three of the top six are promos, not cards from booster packs. The Grey Felt Hat Pikachu came from the Van Gogh Museum collaboration, and it sits at about £678. Promos tend to be printed for one event or one product, which is why some of them end up worth more than most set cards.
The one with real UK sales
The Surging Sparks Pikachu ex special illustration rare is the only card on this list with a deep run of UK sales: 12 of them, middle price about £216. A PSA 10 sells for about £546 in the UK, from 7 sales.
How we price these
UK prices are the middle of real eBay UK sold listings, cleaned of fakes, lots, graded copies and other languages. When a card has too few UK sales, we show the Cardmarket and TCGplayer price in pounds and say so. Data, not financial advice.
