Pichu is card #25 of Arceus (2009), a Rare Pokémon, illustrated by Kanako Eo.
Pichu appears in 13 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Arceus (2009) #25 card is one of 13 printings spanning 1999–2010. Kanako Eo only illustrated this Arceus version; other printings credit Ken Sugimori, Yuka Morii, Atsuko Nishida. Other Pichu printings sit at Promo, Common, Uncommon, Rare Holo rarity tiers, so this Rare Arceus card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 50 HP, while other Pichu cards in the catalogue range from 30 to 50 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Pichu hub page.

The 1 in 55 pull chance is calculated from the Arceus rare-slot composition modelled in PackRip's pack generator. Because rare slots are split between Holo Rare, Pokemon-ex, Secret Rare, Shining, Crystal and Gold Star tiers (depending on the era), individual ultra-rare odds can run an order of magnitude lower than headline 1-in-3 holo-slot rates.
The TCGplayer market price for Pichu Arceus #25 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $9.84 USD, which puts it in the budget binder bracket. Graded copies sell for more than raw, but PackRip holds no grading-population or auction data, so no graded figure is estimated here. This snapshot is also what the in-game sell price is derived from.
Rather than chase the pull, you can craft this card for 50 Pack Dust from the Arceus dust pool, which fills as you open Arceus packs.

Prefer a native app? PackRip: TCG Card Packs for iOS runs the same pack-opening loop — rarity tiers, pity guarantees, offline support, App Badging when daily packs reset. It does not contain Pichu or any other Pokémon card: all of its artwork is original to PackRip and AI-generated. See the iOS app or download on the App Store.
Card data and card images come from the open-source Pokemon TCG API; pack art and set logos from ptcg-assets; market prices are a bundled snapshot of TCGplayer data. Pull rates shown on PackRip are the simulator's own published rate table, not official figures.
