Pikachu is card #173 of Pokemon 151 (2023), a Illustration Rare Pokémon, illustrated by Hiroyuki Yamamoto.
Pikachu appears in 105 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Pokemon 151 (2023) #173 card is one of 105 printings spanning 1996–2026. Hiroyuki Yamamoto only illustrated this Pokemon 151 version; other printings credit Mitsuhiro Arita, Ken Sugimori, Keiji Kinebuchi. Other Pikachu printings sit at Common, Promo, Rare Secret, Uncommon rarity tiers, so this Illustration Rare Pokemon 151 card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 60 HP, while other Pikachu cards in the catalogue range from 30 to 70 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Pikachu hub page.
HP: 60 · Type: Lightning · Weakness: Fighting ×2 · Retreat cost: 1 energy · Evolves into: Raichu
“When it is angered, it immediately discharges the energy stored in the pouches in its cheeks.” — Pokedex entry, National Dex #25
The 1 in 288 pull chance is calculated from the Pokemon 151 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 Pikachu 151 #173 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $96.44 USD, which puts it in the mid-tier 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 10 Pack Dust from the Pokemon 151 dust pool, which fills as you open Pokemon 151 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 Pikachu 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.
