Charmander needs no introduction, it's the little orange lizard that got a lot of us into this hobby in the first place, and this shiny rare version from the 2024 Paldean Fates set gives it a proper glow up courtesy of illustrator sowsow. If you're trying to pin down Charmander's value, the short version is that raw copies sit around $46, which feels about right for a set this popular. It's not a chase card that breaks the bank, but it's the kind of pull that puts a smile on your face.

The collector's take on Charmander
Is Charmander worth grading?
So is Charmander worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $46, a Grade 9 comes in at $50, and a PSA 10 sits at $205, which works out to about 4.5 times the raw price. That's a real jump, but grading isn't free and it isn't guaranteed. You're paying for the submission whether the card comes back a 9 or a 10, and centering issues on shiny rares can knock a seemingly perfect card down a notch. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a light and you don't mind the wait, it can pay off. If it's got a soft corner or a hint of a print line, you might just be paying to find out something you already suspected.
How rare is Charmander?
Right now there are 404 graded copies of this Charmander on record, and out of those, 240 have landed a PSA 10. That's a notably high share sitting at the top grade, which tells you this card tends to come out of packs in good shape and grades kindly when it does. That's good news if you're chasing a gem mint copy since the odds aren't terrible, but it also means PSA 10 pricing reflects a population that isn't razor thin. Scarcity here is more about the jump in value than true rarity of the grade itself.
Where can you pull Charmander?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we don't just quote a price guide, we track real pulls across pack sites. Charmander has been pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, mnstr, and packs, so it's clearly in circulation and not some mythical chase card. We've seen it turn up in the Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Dollar Pack, Rookie Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $369. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't come close to that number, so treat any pack as entertainment first and a lottery ticket second.
