- Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this card, which adds appeal for artist-focused collectors.
- Its Lightning typing means Dark Raichu has a dual collector-and-player audience.

Buying & selling Dark Raichu

- Track the Cardmarket 7- and 30-day averages (€188.44 and €149.06) to time entries and exits.
- Because it is a Pokémon card, Dark Raichu has both collector and player demand — a broader buyer pool than purely collectible cards.
- Centring and surface condition matter most on Rare cards; a clean copy of Dark Raichu can realise well above the $209.48 low end.
