Pikachu V is card #157 of Brilliant Stars (2022), a Rare Ultra Pokémon, illustrated by 5ban Graphics.
Pikachu V appears in 11 printings across PackRip's catalogue. The Brilliant Stars (2022) #157 card is the most recent of 11 printings (2019–2022). Other Pikachu V printings sit at Rare Holo V, Promo rarity tiers, so this Rare Ultra Brilliant Stars card is not interchangeable for set-completion or value purposes. Stat-line drift across reprints is real — this printing prints at 190 HP, while other Pikachu V cards in the catalogue range from 190 to 200 HP. For the full cross-set comparison see the Pikachu V hub page.
HP: 190 · Type: Lightning · Weakness: Fighting ×2 · Retreat cost: 1 energy · Evolves into: Raichu
The 1 in 245 pull chance is calculated from the Brilliant Stars 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 V Brilliant Stars #157 in PackRip's latest snapshot is about $28.75 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 10 Pack Dust from the Brilliant Stars dust pool, which fills as you open Brilliant Stars 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 V 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.
