Attacks

Growl
If the Defending Pokémon attacks Pikachu during your opponent's next turn, any damage done by the attack is reduced by 10 (after applying Weakness and Resistance). (Benching either Pokémon ends this effect.)
20Thundershock
Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.

“When several of these Pokémon gather, their electricity could build and cause lightning storms.”

How much is Pikachu #1/53 worth?

Grading changes the math on this one: a PSA 10 is valued around $845.00, roughly 32.1x the raw price, while a PSA 9 sits near $207.37. 4,598 copies have been graded to date, and 8% of them came back a 10 — worth knowing before you pay grading fees.

Prices on this page refresh nightly from live TCGplayer market data and are cross-checked against actual sold prices, so a single inflated listing never becomes "the price". The chart above has the full history.
