As a Holo Rare V, it sits in that sweet spot of being flashy enough to chase but common enough that most collectors can actually own one. If you're trying to pin down Butterfree V value, the short answer is that it's an affordable holo with a real ceiling once you get into graded copies.

The collector's take on Butterfree V
Is Butterfree V worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Butterfree V price across conditions: raw copies sit at $2, a Grade 9 jumps to $20, and a PSA 10 lands at $41, which works out to 17.8 times what the raw card sells for. That's a real multiplier, but it comes with a catch. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, especially with V cards where sharp corners and clean edges under a holo pattern can be unforgiving. If you've got a copy that looks flawless to your eye under good light, it's worth considering, but don't send in a card with soft corners or a scratch expecting a payout, because that's how people lose money on grading fees alone.
How rare is Butterfree V?
Across all grading services combined, there are 1,155 graded copies of Butterfree V on record, and of those, 585 have come back as PSA 10. That's actually a pretty high gem mint rate for a modern V card, meaning this one isn't brutally hard to find in top condition compared to some other holos from the era. What that tells you is the price gap between raw and PSA 10 is driven more by demand and effort than by true scarcity, so don't expect the value to spike dramatically just because grading exists.
Where can you pull Butterfree V?
We've tracked 65 recorded pulls of Butterfree V across pack sites including collector-crypt, courtyard, packs, lastpack, and mnstr, so it does show up with some regularity if you're opening the right products. It's turned up in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and VMAX Stampede. The biggest single pull we've logged for this card hit $190, which is a nice reminder that pack odds can occasionally hand you a copy worth well above typical market value, though most rips won't get anywhere close to that, and opening packs is still a gamble more often than a windfall.
Questions people ask
How much is Butterfree V worth?+
A raw, ungraded Butterfree V is worth around $2, while a Grade 9 sits at $20 and a PSA 10 reaches $41. So the value really depends on condition and whether you've had it graded.
Is Butterfree V worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 17.8 times the raw price, but grading fees and the risk of not hitting gem mint mean it only makes sense if your copy is already in excellent shape. With 585 out of 1,155 graded copies landing a PSA 10, gem mint isn't rare for this card, so the odds aren't terrible either way.
What set is Butterfree V from?+
Butterfree V is card #1 from the Darkness Ablaze set, released in 2020. It's a Holo Rare V illustrated by Saki Hayashiro.
