The collector's take on Darkrai
Is Darkrai worth grading?
So is Darkrai worth grading? A PSA 10 sits at $22 against a $2 raw card, which works out to about 11.8 times the ungraded price, and a Grade 9 lands in between at $7. That jump sounds tempting, but here's the honest part: hitting a true gem mint copy isn't guaranteed, grading fees and shipping add up fast, and on a card this affordable, the math only really works if you're grading a stack, doing it for the love of the hobby, or already sitting on a copy that looks flawless in hand. If you're just holding one raw copy for personal enjoyment, there's no shame in leaving it exactly as it is.
How rare is Darkrai?
Only 58 copies of this card have been graded in total, and out of those, 43 came back as PSA 10. That's a striking ratio, it tells you that when this card gets sent in, it tends to grade well, which is good news if you're chasing a gem mint copy but also means the population of tougher grades like a 9 is genuinely small. Scarcity like this keeps the PSA 10 price meaningfully above raw, even on a card that isn't expensive to begin with, because there simply aren't many graded examples floating around for collectors to choose from.
Where can you pull Darkrai?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just going off price guides. We've recorded Darkrai being pulled 24 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $410, a good reminder that pack odds can occasionally swing well above the card's usual price. It's shown up in packs like the Pokémon Platinum Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, Pokemon Ace Pack, and Pokemon Premium Pack. Worth saying plainly, as always: opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any big hit as a bonus rather than the expectation.

Is Darkrai worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at $22 compared to $2 raw, roughly 11.8 times the ungraded price. But with only 58 copies graded so far and grading costs to factor in, it's worth thinking about whether you're doing it for profit or for the fun of owning a graded copy.
How much is a PSA 10 Darkrai worth?+
A PSA 10 Darkrai #74 is valued at $22. Out of the 58 total graded copies recorded, 43 are PSA 10, so gem mint isn't rare among graded copies, but the overall graded population itself is still quite small.
