Tap to open
Dark Raticate #20 comes from the Japanese Rocket Gang set, one of those older releases that still pulls in collectors chasing that early Team Rocket look. It is not a card that turns heads with a big price tag, sitting at $2 raw, but there is something charming about a common little rodent card carrying real history and a surprisingly wide grading population. If you are searching for Dark Raticate value, the short answer is that it is an affordable piece of Rocket Gang nostalgia with some upside if you land a gem mint copy.

The collector's take on Dark Raticate
Is Dark Raticate worth grading?
Here is where it gets interesting. A raw Dark Raticate sits around $2, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $51, which works out to about 25.6 times the raw price. That is a real jump on paper, but grading costs money and takes time, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint. Notice too that a Grade 9 actually sits at $54, slightly above the PSA 10 figure, which tells you this card's grading market is a little unusual and worth watching rather than assuming a perfect 10 always wins. If your copy already looks sharp with clean edges and centering, grading can make sense, but for a $2 card it is worth being honest with yourself about whether the fees are worth the gamble.
How rare is Dark Raticate?
Across all grading companies, only 132 copies of Dark Raticate have been graded, and out of those, 51 have reached PSA 10. That is a fairly high percentage actually hitting gem mint, which helps explain why the PSA 10 price sits close to Grade 9 rather than towering way above it. Scarcity here is not extreme, but it is real, and it shows that finding a mint condition copy is achievable if you already own a raw one worth grading.
Where can you pull Dark Raticate?
PackSpy has recorded Dark Raticate pulled 9 times across collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $32. It has shown up in Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so if you are opening packs hoping to land one, those are the spots our tracking has actually seen it surface. That said, most pack openings do not net a card worth more than what you paid, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation. Buying on the secondary market remains the more reliable route if you specifically want this card in hand.
Questions people ask
How much is Dark Raticate worth?+
A raw, ungraded Dark Raticate is worth $2 right now. Once graded, values shift quite a bit, with a Grade 9 sitting at $54 and a PSA 10 at $51, so condition changes the picture significantly.
Is Dark Raticate worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 25.6 times the raw card's $2 price. But grading costs money and only 51 out of 132 graded copies have hit that PSA 10 mark, so it is not a guaranteed win, more of a calculated bet on your copy's condition.
How much is a PSA 10 Dark Raticate worth?+
A PSA 10 Dark Raticate is currently valued at $51. Interestingly, that is just under the $54 value of a Grade 9, which makes this one of those cards where chasing a perfect grade is not the only path to solid value.
