The collector's take on Blastoise & Piplup GX
Is Blastoise & Piplup GX worth grading?
So is Blastoise & Piplup GX worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy is $29, a Grade 9 brings $55, and a PSA 10 sits at $127, which works out to about 4.3 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's tempting. But gem mint is called gem mint for a reason, it's not the common outcome. Centering, edge wear, and surface scratches from normal handling can knock a card down a grade before you even notice. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and you're taking on real cost and real risk for a shot at that top number. If your copy looks clean under a loupe and you're patient, it can be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or a whitening edge, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Blastoise & Piplup GX?
We don't have official population numbers to point to here, but that's not unusual for Japanese-only tag team releases like this one. Sets like Remix Bout tend to have tighter print runs than mainline English releases, and cards featuring popular pairings like Blastoise and Piplup often get pulled and kept rather than resold, which quietly thins out the supply of high grade copies over time. That scarcity is part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 numbers. Fewer perfect copies means more competition for the ones that exist.
Where can you pull Blastoise & Piplup GX?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep, because we don't just guess at rarity, we log real pulls from real pack openings. Blastoise & Piplup GX has been pulled 17 times across collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $131. It's shown up in a mix of packs too, including the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Water Pack, Wildcard Pro Pack, and Anime Pop Culture Gacha, so if you're chasing this one, those are the pack types worth watching. Just keep in mind that opening packs is gambling by nature, most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any pull of this card as a nice surprise rather than something to count on.
