Question 1

Is Dark Ivysaur worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Dark Ivysaur worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy runs $189, a Grade 9 comes in at $211, and a PSA 10 jumps to $700, which works out to about 3.7 times the raw price. That's a meaningful gap, but gem mint isn't a given. Grading takes time, costs money regardless of the outcome, and centering or edge issues on Japanese promos can knock a card down to a 9 pretty easily. If your copy already looks sharp in hand, corners clean and centering tight, it's worth the shot. If it's got visible wear, you might be better off holding it raw or reselling it as is rather than gambling on the grading fee.

Question 2

How rare is Dark Ivysaur?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading companies combined, there are 482 graded copies of Dark Ivysaur on record, and only 167 of those have made it to PSA 10. That means roughly a third of graded copies hit gem mint, which isn't astronomically rare but isn't easy either, especially for an older Japanese promo where surface and print quality can vary. With a population this contained, every PSA 10 that comes up for sale tends to matter to the price, since there simply aren't many floating around to satisfy demand.

Question 3

Where can you pull Dark Ivysaur?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's data actually comes in handy instead of just guessing. We've tracked Dark Ivysaur pulled 200 or more times across collector-crypt, courtyard, mnstr, and tilt-rips, so it's not some mythical chase card, it does show up. The biggest recorded pull we've logged sold for $425, well above the raw market price, which tells you hitting a clean one at the right moment can pay off. You'll find it turning up in the Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Pokemon Pro Pack. Just remember, pack opening is gambling by nature, and most rips don't come out ahead of what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than a plan.

Question 4

How much is Dark Ivysaur worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Dark Ivysaur from the Gameboy #2 Japanese Promo set is currently valued at $189. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $211 and a PSA 10 reaching $700. Prices shift with population and demand, so it's worth checking current listings before you buy or sell.

Question 5

Is Dark Ivysaur worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 3.7 times the raw price. But only 167 of the 482 graded copies have reached that gem mint grade, so it's not guaranteed. If your card has strong centering and clean edges, grading is a reasonable bet, but always factor in the grading fee and turnaround time.

Question 6

How much is a PSA 10 Dark Ivysaur worth?

Accepted Answer

A PSA 10 Dark Ivysaur is valued at $700, a solid jump from the raw price of $189. There are 167 PSA 10 copies on record out of 482 total graded, so gem mint copies are genuinely scarce and tend to hold their value well.
