Detective Pikachu Card List & Price Guide (DET)
Every Detective Pikachu card with live raw and PSA 10 prices, updated hourly. Updated Nov 2, 2026.
Issued April 5, 2019, Detective Pikachu is a compact Sun & Moon special expansion built around the live-action movie's visual style. The artwork uses film-rendered Pokémon rather than the usual illustrated look, giving the set a distinct identity. Every numbered card received a foil presentation, and the short checklist centers on recognizable characters from the story. Charizard, Ditto, Mewtwo, Greninja, and Detective Pikachu lead demand, with the rarer pulls creating more separation than the common cards.

How Detective Pikachu Products Rolled Out
The Detective Pikachu expansion became available in stores on April 5, 2019, during the Pokémon TCG's Sun & Moon era. Its unusual four-card booster packs contained cards numbered 1/18 through 18/18. The Pokémon Company documented additional cards tied to products and promotions, bringing the official expansion total to 27 cards.
The release also extended beyond individual booster packs. Officially documented formats included a Detective Pikachu Tin and the Detective Pikachu Café Figure Collection. The figure collection launched on May 17, 2019, more than a month after the expansion's initial store release, and included a sculpted Detective Pikachu figure.

Frequently asked questions
What is the most valuable card in Detective Pikachu?

How many cards are in Detective Pikachu?

How can I check Detective Pikachu card values with my phone?
Scan any Detective Pikachu card with the free Card Value Scanner app on iPhone to see live prices, PSA graded values and eBay sold comps, then add it to your collection to track set completion.
How do I track my Detective Pikachu collection?
In Card Value Scanner, add cards from Detective Pikachu to a collection to see portfolio value, missing cards for set completion, price alerts and CSV or JSON export.
How was Detective Pikachu distributed compared with a regular expansion?
Its miniature booster packs were primarily included with dedicated collection products and selected promotions. They were not distributed like a normal large expansion with standard booster displays, so sealed collecting follows product packaging and provenance more closely.
Does every numbered Detective Pikachu card have holofoil?
Yes. The numbered expansion uses holofoil across the checklist, including common pulls. That uniform finish fits the cinematic presentation but also makes surface scratching, foil clouding, and curling relevant even on otherwise clean cards.
Can the Detective Pikachu core set be completed without promotional cards?
The core set can be assembled from the numbered movie-themed cards alone. Associated promotional cards were issued separately and are not part of the main numbering. A broader movie collection may include them, but that is a different collecting goal.
