The current aggregated market price for Chikorita is about $1.03. TCGplayer listing prices for this printing span roughly $0.50 (lowest listed) to $19.98 (highest listed), with a mid-point near $1.37. The high end of that spread often reflects outlier asking prices well above what copies typically sell for, so treat the market price above — not the top of the listing range — as the going rate. These figures are aggregated from marketplace data and change over time; the live price and full price history are shown above on this page.
For context, the Lost Thunder set has a median card value near $1.73 and an average near $11.84, so this card sits below the typical card in the set.
PSA has graded 3 copies of Chikorita, of which 1 earned a PSA 10 — a gem rate of about 33.3%. These population figures were last refreshed on June 21, 2026. Population counts only rise as more copies are submitted, so the gem rate and totals shift over time; nothing here is estimated or back-filled.
As a Common card, Chikorita was printed at one of the highest frequencies in its set — commons form the base of a set's print run and are pulled most often from booster packs.
Chikorita appears on more than one card across the catalog. Other printings include Expedition Base Set 99 (around $40.95), Hidden Legends 55 (around $40.30) and Expedition Base Set 100 (around $27.00).
These are distinct cards rather than a single listing; compare the set, collector number, and rarity when identifying a specific copy.
Check the collector number printed in the card's bottom corner: it should read 6/214, alongside the Lost Thunder set symbol. Because Chikorita appears on 15 other cards, the set and collector number — not the name alone — identify this exact printing.
