A Pikachu, the iconic electric-type Pokémon known for its lightning abilities and appearances in popular media such as Pokémon games and anime, has long been a favorite among fans. Recently, attention has shifted to a unique version of the character: the "Raincoat Pikachu," a design that looks as if it's ready for a rainy day, dressed in a red raincoat and holding an orange umbrella. This quirky look has sparked significant interest in the collector market. On September 28, a card featuring this Raincoat Pikachu sold for 8.4 million dollars during an auction on Fanatics Collect. This price makes it the second most expensive Pokémon card in history, trailing only behind the Pikachu Illustrator card created by Logan Paul, which remains the most valuable. The Raincoat Pikachu card is far from the typical high-quality illustrations seen on most trading cards. Instead, it appears as if it was drawn by a young child on a basic drawing program, with bright colors and simple shapes. The artwork was originally created by a Japanese fan named Y. Fujishima during a contest in 2015. As a winner, he received 100 official copies of his design, and these are the only ones that exist today. The particular card that sold for millions was rated PSA 10, meaning it is in perfect condition. Its value has skyrocketed from 19,200 dollars in 2025 to over 8 million dollars today, showing the immense demand among collectors. Despite the astronomical price, the identity of the buyer remains a mystery. It is unknown who spent the equivalent of a small country's GDP on this unique Pikachu card. However, the popularity of the Raincoat Pikachu has inspired many to seek out similar designs, hoping to stay dry during the autumn season.
