Tap to open
Dark Vileplume 1st Edition #13 is one of those Team Rocket rares that doesn't shout for attention, but collectors who know the set always know it. Released back in 2000 as a Rare, illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, it's earned a quiet reputation for being tougher to find in top shape than its rarity tier suggests. If you're trying to figure out Dark Vileplume value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $60, while a well graded one can climb into the thousands, and that gap is really the whole story here.

The collector's take on Dark Vileplume
Is Dark Vileplume worth grading?
So is Dark Vileplume worth grading? It depends on what you're holding. A raw, ungraded copy sits around $60, and a PSA 10 brings roughly 3.2 times that at $191, which is a real jump but not a life changing one on its own. What's more interesting is that Grade 9 copies have actually traded even higher, at $1,515, which tells you the market for this card can be a little unpredictable and sometimes rewards a near perfect copy more than a technically perfect one. Grading takes time, costs money, and there's no guarantee your card comes back gem mint, so this is really only worth doing if you already believe your copy is sharp: clean edges, strong centering, no whitening. If you're on the fence, it's worth holding the card in hand and being honest with yourself about its condition before you send it in.
How rare is Dark Vileplume?
Right now there are 4,890 graded copies of Dark Vileplume on record, and only 258 of those made it all the way to PSA 10. That works out to a small slice, somewhere around one in every nineteen or twenty graded copies, actually landing in gem mint territory. It's not an ultra rare card by any means, but that population split explains why the price curve bends so sharply near the top: gem mint copies are genuinely uncommon, and that scarcity is what keeps PSA 10 and Grade 9 prices well above the raw market.
Where can you pull Dark Vileplume?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on price guides alone. We've recorded Dark Vileplume pulled 19 times across collector-crypt, mnstr, and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull worth $164. It's shown up in packs like the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pack 1, The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokémon Master Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. That said, it's not a common hit, so plenty of collectors end up buying their copy on the secondary market instead of chasing it through packs, and it's worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble where most rips don't pay for themselves.
Questions people ask
How much is Dark Vileplume worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of Dark Vileplume 1st Edition #13 is valued at $60. Graded copies climb from there, with a PSA 10 sitting at $191 and Grade 9 copies historically reaching $1,515, so condition makes a real difference to the final price.
Is Dark Vileplume worth grading?+
It can be, especially if your copy looks sharp with clean edges and strong centering. A PSA 10 sits at roughly 3.2 times the raw price, but only 258 of the 4,890 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so there's real risk involved and grading costs should factor into your decision.
Why is the Dark Vileplume 1st Edition #13 print worth more than the standard one?+
First edition prints from this era were produced in smaller numbers and carry the 1st edition stamp collectors specifically look for, which tends to push demand and pricing higher than later print runs of the same card. It's a detail that matters a lot to Team Rocket set collectors chasing complete, early print collections.
