Ampharos #90 is the illustration rare from Chaos Rising, the 2026 set that gave saino misaki's artwork of this electric-type a shelf all its own. Collectors gravitate toward it because illustration rares tend to hit that sweet spot of striking art without needing a secret rare price tag, and if you're checking Ampharos value right now, the short answer is it sits at $9 raw, with real upside if you chase a graded copy. It's not a card that dominates headlines, but it's the kind of pull that quietly rewards patience.

The collector's take on Ampharos

Is Ampharos worth grading?

Here's the honest math on Ampharos price across grades: raw copies sit at $9, a Grade 9 brings $27, and a PSA 10 commands $339, which works out to 36.6 times the raw value. That's a real jump, and it's the number that gets people excited about sending cards in. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, corners, centering, and surface all have to line up, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time eat into any profit if your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, with clean edges and no whitening, it's worth the gamble. If it's just decent, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.

How rare is it?

Only 76 copies of Ampharos have been graded so far, and interestingly, 64 of those are already sitting at PSA 10. That's a high gem rate for most cards, but it also means the population of true gem mint copies isn't nearly as thin as the headline number suggests, so the PSA 10 premium reflects demand and the card's appeal as much as pure scarcity. Still, with only 76 total graded copies in existence, this isn't a card you'll trip over in graded form, and that keeps the floor under its value steady.

Where to pull it

PackSpy has tracked Ampharos being pulled 7 times across real pack sites, specifically collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $24. It's shown up in the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Pokémon Basic Pack, and the Pokémon Starter Pack, so if you're chasing this one from a live break, those are the products where it's actually been seen. That said, seven pulls isn't a lot, and it's a good reminder that opening packs is a gamble where most rips don't beat what you paid, this is exactly the kind of real, cross-site data that a static price guide can't give you.

Questions people ask

Is Ampharos worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 36.6 times the raw price, jumping from $9 to $339. But gem mint copies are genuinely tough to pull off, so weigh the grading fees and the risk of landing a Grade 9 instead before you send it in.
