**The rarest card in Crown Zenith is Pikachu (#160), a Rare Secret.**

## Why Pikachu tops the list

## How Pikachu sits in the wider chase

## Star Pokémon to chase in Crown Zenith

Beyond the single rarest card, these are the headline Pokémon and their prints in the set — each appears in multiple slots, so there's more than one Crown Zenith card to hunt per name:

- **Pikachu** — Pikachu (#160)
- **Radiant Charizard** — Radiant Charizard (#20)
- **Radiant Eternatus** — Radiant Eternatus (#105)
- **Radiant Charjabug** — Radiant Charjabug (#51)

If you're hunting the rarest pull, Pikachu is the one to prioritise; the rest of Crown Zenith's chase fills in from there. With 1 secret rares and 0 full-art cards across the 160-card set, there's a deep bench of rare pulls behind it.
