Tap to open
Alakazam V is one of those Ultra Rare pulls from Vivid Voltage, the 2020 set that gave us a wave of full art favorites, and it's stuck around as a nice one to own even if it's not the flashiest card in the binder. Ayaka Yoshida's artwork gives it a calm, almost dreamlike feel that suits Alakazam's whole psychic vibe, and that's part of why collectors still ask about Alakazam V value years after it first hit shelves. If you're trying to figure out what your copy is worth, you're in the right spot.

The collector's take on Alakazam V
Is Alakazam V worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw Alakazam V sits around $4, while a PSA 10 brings $73, which works out to about 16.3 times the raw price. That sounds tempting, but a Grade 9 only pulls $23, so the real jump only happens if you land that gem mint 10, and pack fresh copies don't always cooperate with grading standards, especially on a card with this much surface area to keep clean. Add in grading fees and the wait time, and for a card in this price range it often makes more sense to keep it raw and enjoy it, unless you genuinely believe your specific copy is centered, sharp, and flawless enough to hit that top grade.
How rare is Alakazam V?
Alakazam V carries the Ultra Rare tag, which already puts it a notch above your standard holo in terms of pull odds, though it's not chasing the scarcity of a secret rare or alt art. We don't have official population numbers to lean on here, so instead of guessing, it's fairer to say this card sits in that comfortable middle ground: not common, not a needle in a haystack, but still satisfying to pull. That mid-tier scarcity is a big reason the price stays modest and steady rather than spiking, which honestly makes it a fun card to chase without much financial pressure.
Where can you pull Alakazam V?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just going off price guides. Alakazam V has been recorded 21 times across collector-crypt and courtyard, with the best recorded pull landing at $38, well above its usual raw value. We've seen it show up in the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack, so if you're hoping to pull one yourself, those are the products where it's actually been showing up. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble no matter how you slice it, and most rips don't beat what you paid, so chase this one because you like the card, not because you're expecting a payday.
Questions people ask
How much is Alakazam V worth?+
A raw, ungraded Alakazam V is valued around $4 right now. It's a card that's fun to own and collect rather than a big investment piece, which honestly takes some of the pressure off enjoying it.
Is Alakazam V worth grading?+
It depends on your copy. A PSA 10 sells for $73 while a Grade 9 sits at $23, so unless your card is truly gem mint, grading fees can eat into any gain, and for a raw value this low, many collectors just keep it as is.
How much is a PSA 10 Alakazam V worth?+
A PSA 10 Alakazam V is worth $73, which is about 16.3 times the raw card's value. It's a solid jump, but landing a true gem mint copy is the hard part.
