It's a rare card, and if you're here checking the Dark Blastoise value, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $527, while a PSA 10 has climbed all the way to $28,499.

The collector's take on Dark Blastoise
Is Dark Blastoise worth grading?
So is it worth grading? A raw Dark Blastoise sits at $527, a Grade 9 jumps to $3,369, and a true PSA 10 sells for $28,499, which works out to about 54.1 times the raw price. That's a serious multiplier, but only 93 out of 2,286 total graded copies have actually landed a PSA 10, so gem mint is far from guaranteed even on a card that looks clean to the eye. Grading takes time, costs money, and there's real risk your copy comes back a 9 instead of a 10, so if you're sending one in, do it because you believe in the surfaces and corners, not just because the top number looks tempting.
How rare is Dark Blastoise?
Out of 2,286 graded copies on record, only 93 have earned that coveted PSA 10 label, and that thin slice at the top is exactly why gem mint copies command such a premium. Most of the graded population sits below perfect, which makes sense for a 2002 card that's been through two decades of handling, trading, and storage before anyone thought to slab it. That kind of scarcity at the very top is what keeps pushing the Dark Blastoise price higher for PSA 10s while the raw and Grade 9 market stays comparatively more accessible.
Where can you pull Dark Blastoise?
We've tracked 60 recorded pulls of Dark Blastoise across collector-crypt, courtyard, mnstr, tilt-rips, and phygitals, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $1,867. It's turned up in a handful of specific packs, including the Legendary Pokemon Gacha Pack, Water Pack, Pokemon Master Pack, Pack 3, and Pokemon: The Amazing Chase Day 3, so if you're chasing this one from a live pack site, those are the names to watch for. That said, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't come close to covering what you spend, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan, and know that most collectors end up buying this card outright on the secondary market instead.
Questions people ask
How much is Dark Blastoise worth?+
A raw, ungraded Dark Blastoise is valued at $527 right now. Once graded, the price climbs fast: a Grade 9 sits at $3,369, and a PSA 10 reaches $28,499. Condition really is everything with this card.
Is Dark Blastoise worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 54.1 times what a raw copy goes for. But only 93 of the 2,286 graded copies out there have hit that PSA 10 mark, so it's worth being honest with yourself about your card's condition before you send it in, since grading isn't free and there's no guarantee it comes back gem mint.
What set is Dark Blastoise from?+
Dark Blastoise Reverse Holo #4 is from the Legendary Collection set, released in 2002. It's a rare card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, and it's one of the more sought-after pulls from that era.
