Tap to open
Dark Flareon is card #35 from the Team Rocket set, released back in 2000, an Uncommon card illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. It belongs to that beloved run of 'Dark' Pokemon that Team Rocket introduced, and collectors have a soft spot for the moodier color palettes Arita gave them. If you are digging into Dark Flareon value right now, the short answer is that it sits at the affordable end of the set, but the story gets more interesting once you look at graded copies.

The collector's take on Dark Flareon
Is Dark Flareon worth grading?
Here is where it gets worth thinking about. A raw, ungraded Dark Flareon runs about $7, while a PSA 10 sits around $44, which works out to roughly 6.8 times the raw price. A Grade 9 actually lands higher in our data at $218, which tells you condition and grading outcomes on this card do not move in a straight line, so do not assume gem mint is automatically your best payout. Grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back at the grade you hoped for, so if you are asking whether Dark Flareon is worth grading, the honest answer is: only if your copy already looks sharp in hand, because a mid-grade result can leave you worse off than just selling it raw.
How rare is Dark Flareon?
Across all the copies that have been graded, there are 1,456 in total, and only 58 of those earned a PSA 10. That is a small slice, just under 4 percent of the graded population, which tells you gem mint copies are genuinely hard to land even though the card itself is common enough to find. When a population is this size but the top grade stays this thin, it usually means the card was handled a fair bit over the years, and that scarcity at the top is exactly why PSA 10 pricing separates itself from everything below it.
Where can you pull Dark Flareon?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because price guides cannot tell you this part. We have recorded Dark Flareon pulled 1 time across the sites we track, specifically at courtyard, with a biggest recorded pull value of $60. It has shown up in The Amazing Chase Encore packs, so if you are chasing this one from a live break, that is the product to watch. With just one recorded pull, though, it is fair to say this card is rarely pulled fresh, and most collectors end up picking it up on the secondary market instead. Worth remembering too: opening packs for a specific card is a gamble, and most rips do not cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Dark Flareon worth?+
A raw, ungraded Dark Flareon is valued around $7. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 fetching about $218 and a PSA 10 landing around $44. So the price really depends on condition and whether the card has been graded at all.
Is Dark Flareon worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 brings roughly 6.8 times the raw price, but only 58 out of 1,456 graded copies have hit that top grade, so gem mint is far from guaranteed. If your card already looks clean and sharp, grading can be worthwhile, but a rougher copy is safer to sell raw.
How much is a PSA 10 Dark Flareon worth?+
A PSA 10 Dark Flareon is worth around $44, which is about 6.8 times the raw card price. Only 58 copies have ever graded that high out of 1,456 total graded, so it is a genuinely tough pull at the top grade.
