Arcanine ex #224 is one of the standout Ultra Rares from the Scarlet & Violet base set, released back in 2023 with artwork from 5ban Graphics that really captures the big fire dog in motion. It's the kind of card that pulls double duty, a fan favorite Pokemon and a genuine chase card in the set, which is exactly why so many collectors search for Arcanine ex Scarlet Violet price when they're trying to figure out what a copy in hand is actually worth. Right now that answer sits at $15 for a raw, ungraded copy, with a lot more room to climb if you send it off for grading.

The collector's take on Arcanine ex

Is Arcanine ex worth grading?

Here's the honest math on Arcanine ex value once grading enters the picture: a raw copy sits at $15, a Grade 9 lands around $30, and a PSA 10 gem mint jumps all the way to $134, which works out to about 9.1 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting, but gem mint is called gem mint for a reason. Corners, edges and centering all have to line up close to perfect, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into any profit if your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you already suspect your copy is clean, grading can make sense. If it's got visible wear, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.

How rare is it?

As an Ultra Rare pulled from Scarlet & Violet packs, Arcanine ex sits in that tier of card that's meant to feel special the moment it hits your hand, not something you're finding in every box. We don't have official population numbers to point to here, but the rarity tier alone tells you most copies stay in circulation as played, handled cards rather than pristine ones, which is part of why a true gem mint PSA 10 commands such a jump over the raw price. Scarcity at the top end of the grading scale is really what drives that $134 figure, not the card being hard to find in general.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's own tracking earns its keep, because we don't just quote a price guide, we watch real pack sites and record what actually comes out of them. Across the sites we track, we've logged Arcanine ex pulled 33 times so far, spread across collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull coming in at $37. It's shown up in a handful of specific pack types too, including the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs chasing a specific card is a gamble, and most rips don't beat what you paid in. If you want Arcanine ex guaranteed, buying a graded or raw copy on the secondary market is the sure thing. If you want the thrill of the pull, those are the pack types where we've actually seen it land.

Questions people ask

How much is Arcanine ex worth?+

A raw, ungraded Arcanine ex #224 is worth $15 right now. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 around $30 and a PSA 10 reaching $134, so condition and grading make a real difference in Arcanine ex price.

Is Arcanine ex worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 9.1 times what a raw copy goes for. But gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to hit, and grading costs money and time either way, so it only really pays off if your copy looks close to flawless already.

What set is Arcanine ex from?+

Arcanine ex #224 comes from the Scarlet & Violet set, released in 2023. It's an Ultra Rare card illustrated by 5ban Graphics, making it one of the more sought after pulls from that release.
