Tap to open
Darkrai V #98 is one of those cards that makes Astral Radiance feel like a proper set to collect, a moody, beautifully illustrated Holo Rare V from takuyoa that captures the Pitch-Black Pokemon perfectly. Since its 2022 release it has settled into a quiet, steady spot in the market, and if you are here trying to nail down Darkrai V value, the short answer is that a raw copy runs about $3 while a true gem mint pull can be worth a whole lot more. It is not a chase card that breaks the bank, but it is popular, well loved, and worth understanding before you buy, sell, or send one off for grading.

The collector's take on Darkrai V
Is Darkrai V worth grading?
Here is the honest math: a raw, ungraded Darkrai V sits around $3, but a PSA 10 is fetching $119, which works out to roughly 46.1 times the raw price. That is a real jump, and it is exactly why so many collectors get tempted to grade every copy they own. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, print lines, edge wear, and centering issues on V cards like this one can knock a copy down to a Grade 9, which trades for about $10, a much smaller return once you factor in grading fees and the wait time. If you have a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, sharp corners, clean surface, centered borders, it might be worth the gamble. If it is just a nice-looking pack pull with the usual small flaws, it is probably better loved as a raw card or a low-cost grade rather than a lottery ticket.
How rare is Darkrai V?
Across all grading services, there are 13,681 total graded copies of Darkrai V on record, and of those, only 2,184 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That means gem mint copies make up a relatively small slice of the total population, which helps explain why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 tiers. Darkrai V was never a scarce pull in terms of print run, but true gem mint quality is the real bottleneck, and that scarcity is what keeps the top grade valuable even years after release.
Where can you pull Darkrai V?
PackSpy has tracked four recorded pulls of Darkrai V, all from courtyard, with the biggest hit landing at $35. It has shown up in Pokémon Pro Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack, so it is out there, but it is not a card that turns up constantly. That low pull count tells its own story, most people who end up owning a Darkrai V are buying it on the secondary market rather than ripping it from a pack, and it is a good reminder that opening packs is a gamble where the odds rarely favor the buyer. We track these pulls live across pack sites so you can see real outcomes, not just guesses, before you decide where to spend your money.
