Released in 2023, it's become one of the more searched cards from the set, and if you're here checking Charmander value, the short answer is that a raw copy currently sits at $87.

The collector's take on Charmander
Is Charmander worth grading?
So is it worth sending Charmander off to get graded? Here's the honest math: a raw copy is worth $87, a Grade 9 comes in at $131, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $635, which works out to about 7.3 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint isn't a given. Illustration rares show every little scuff and print line under a grader's light, so a soft corner or a slightly off-center cut can knock you down to a 9 or lower. Add in grading fees and turnaround time, and grading only makes sense if your copy already looks close to flawless in hand. If it's got visible wear, it's probably better loved and displayed than gambled on.
How rare is Charmander?
Across all grading companies, there are 38,066 graded copies of this Charmander on record, and of those, 9,481 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That's a meaningful population, this isn't a needle in a haystack card, but the PSA 10 population still represents a fraction of the total graded pool. That gap between total graded and true gem mint is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so much higher than raw or Grade 9. Scarcity at the top end is what collectors are really paying for here, not scarcity of the card itself.
Where can you pull Charmander?
This is where PackSpy's own data earns its keep, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. Charmander has been pulled 200 or more times across courtyard, collector-crypt, tilt-rips, and mnstr, so it's very much a live card in the packs people are actually opening right now. It's shown up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Elemental Legends: Fire & Electric. The biggest recorded pull value for this card hit $4,500, which is a great reminder that packs can pay off big. Just remember, most rips don't hit numbers like that, so treat pack opening as entertainment first and a possible bonus second.

Is Charmander worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 7.3 times what a raw copy goes for. But that jump only pays off if your card is genuinely gem mint quality, so weigh the grading cost against how sharp your copy really looks before sending it in.
