The collector's take on Budew
Is Budew worth grading?
So is Budew worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $8, a Grade 9 gets you to $24, and a true PSA 10 brings $87, which works out to roughly 11.6x what the ungraded card sells for. That's a real jump, no question. But gem mint isn't a given, corners, centering, and surface all have to cooperate, and grading fees plus shipping and wait time eat into any profit if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe, it's worth a shot. If it's got soft corners or a visible print line, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is rather than gambling the grading fee away.
How rare is Budew?
Only 296 copies of Budew have been graded so far, and out of those, 199 came back as PSA 10. That's a pretty high gem rate as populations go, which tells you the card holds up well when it's pulled and handled carefully, but it also means the population isn't the story here, the ceiling is. With that many PSA 10s already out there, the top grade isn't scarce in a way that drives huge premiums, it's more that grading itself is the deciding factor between a modest raw sale and a genuinely nice $87 return.
Where can you pull Budew?
PackSpy has tracked 32 recorded pulls of Budew across collector-crypt, courtyard, lastpack, and packs, so it's out there but not exactly common. The biggest recorded pull on this card hit $899, which shows what's possible when a graded copy or a lucky bundle lines up right. We've seen it turn up in the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, the Pokémon Starter Pack, the Pokémon Basic Pack, the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the plain starter pack, so if you're chasing it, those are the names to watch. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, most rips don't cover their cost, and Budew is a nice surprise more than a sure thing.
Questions people ask
How much is Budew worth?+
A raw, ungraded Budew is valued around $8. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $24 and a PSA 10 reaching $87. Its biggest recorded pull tracked by PackSpy came in at $899.
Is Budew worth grading?+
It can be. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 11.6x, which is a solid return, but grading costs money upfront and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. Check the corners and centering closely before you send it in.
What set is Budew from?+
Budew #221 comes from Ascended Heroes, released in 2026. It's an illustration rare, illustrated by Yoko Hishida, which is part of why collectors are drawn to it beyond just the numbers.
