ABOUT THIS CARD

Pichu is a rare holo Pokemon card from Pokemon Expedition Base Set, card 22 of 165, released September 15, 2002 in the E-Card series. The illustration is by Atsuko Nishida.

VALUE

What is Pichu #22 from Expedition Base Set worth?

Two different numbers answer this, and they are not interchangeable. Raw/ungraded: a loose, ungraded copy of Pichu #22 (Expedition Base Set) carries a market reference of $305.00 USD for the holofoil printing (TCGplayer market price, as of 2026-09-11). Graded slabs: a graded example is priced per grading company and per grade and can sit far above that raw figure - our own graded marks for this card are charted and tabled below, per grader and grade. Both are references, not offers.
