Tap to open
Darkrai GX #88 comes from Burning Shadows, the 2017 set that gave collectors some of the moodiest, most beautifully illustrated Ultra Rares of that era, and this one is a fan favorite for good reason. PLANETA's artwork captures Darkrai's eerie, dreamlike presence perfectly, which is a big part of why people still hunt this card down years later. If you're trying to pin down Darkrai GX value today, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $7, but as you'll see below, grading changes that picture a lot.

The collector's take on Darkrai GX
Is Darkrai GX worth grading?
Here's the honest math on grading: a raw Darkrai GX runs about $7, a Grade 9 jumps to $64, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is sitting at $282, which works out to 39.2 times what the raw card sells for. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint 10s are hard to hit. Burning Shadows cards from 2017 have had years to circulate, get handled, and pick up the tiny edge wear or centering issues that keep a card at a 9 instead of a 10. Grading fees add up too, and if your card comes back a 9 or lower, you may not cover what you spent. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, corners crisp, centering clean, it's worth considering. If it's already got visible wear, save your money and enjoy it raw.
How rare is it?
We don't have official population figures to point to here, but Darkrai GX sits in that Ultra Rare tier from Burning Shadows, a set now old enough that fresh raw copies aren't flooding the market the way they once did. What we do know from tracking pulls across pack sites is that this card doesn't show up often. Out of everything we've recorded, Darkrai GX has been pulled 17 times total, which tells you plainly that it's not a common hit. Scarcity like that is exactly why the jump from raw to PSA 10 is so steep. Fewer copies means more competition for the ones that grade well.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data becomes genuinely useful, because we track real pulls across live pack sites, not just guide estimates. Darkrai GX has turned up 17 times across courtyard and collector-crypt, with the single biggest recorded pull landing at $109. We've also seen it surface in packs like the Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't pay off. But if you're chasing this one specifically, those are the pack types where collectors have actually pulled it.
Questions people ask
How much is Darkrai GX worth?+
A raw, ungraded Darkrai GX #88 from Burning Shadows is worth around $7 right now. Send it off for grading and a Grade 9 brings $64, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy climbs to $282. So how much is Darkrai GX worth really depends on the condition and whether it's graded.
Is Darkrai GX worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 39.2 times the raw price. But gem mint copies are genuinely tough to pull off, and grading fees aren't refundable if your card comes back a 9 or lower. Look closely at your copy's corners and centering before you commit.
What set is Darkrai GX from?+
Darkrai GX #88 belongs to Burning Shadows, released in 2017. It's an Ultra Rare in the set, illustrated by PLANETA, and remains one of the more sought after pulls from that release.
