Dendra #266 is one of the special illustration rares that made Paldea Evolved such a fun set to chase back in 2023, with artist GIDORA giving the card a look that stands apart from a standard holo. If you are checking Dendra value right now, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $10, while a graded gem mint version climbs a lot higher, which is exactly why this page exists. Collectors love it because it hits that sweet spot of being genuinely striking on card stock without needing a rare 1st edition print to matter.

The collector's take on Dendra
Is Dendra worth grading?
So is it worth grading? A raw copy of Dendra runs about $10, and a PSA 10 sits at $63, which works out to roughly 6.1 times what the ungraded card sells for. That is a real jump, but getting a Grade 9 instead of a 10 only gets you to $24, so the gap between a near perfect card and a truly gem mint one is enormous. Grading takes time and money, and there is no guarantee your copy comes back a 10 even if it looks clean to your eye, corners and centering get judged harshly. If you already own a sharp copy and you are patient, it can make sense. If you are buying one specifically to send in, treat it as a gamble, not a sure thing.
How rare is Dendra?
Special illustration rares like Dendra were never printed in the same volume as your everyday holo, and that rarity tier is part of what keeps the price above a basic common or uncommon. We do not have official population figures to point to here, but the pricing gap between raw, Grade 9, and PSA 10 tells its own story: a true gem mint copy is meaningfully harder to land than a nice looking raw pull, and the market pays for that difficulty. That scarcity at the top end is really what drives anyone asking how much Dendra is worth toward the graded numbers rather than the raw ones.
Where can you pull Dendra?
This is where PackSpy actually has something no price guide can give you: real pull data. We have recorded Dendra pulled 130 times across pack sites, specifically tilt-rips and courtyard, and the biggest single pull we tracked came in at $102. It has shown up in a mix of product types too, including Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Wildcard Basic Pack, so it is not locked to one specific box. That said, opening packs chasing a specific card like this is still a gamble, most rips do not come close to matching what you would just pay buying the card outright on the secondary market.
Questions people ask
How much is Dendra worth?+
A raw, ungraded Dendra sells for around $10. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $24 and a PSA 10 reaching $63, so condition makes a real difference to what buyers will pay.
Is Dendra worth grading?+
It depends on your copy. The PSA 10 price of $63 is about 6.1 times the raw price of $10, which sounds great, but Grade 9 only reaches $24, so anything less than gem mint narrows the gap fast, and grading costs and turnaround time should factor into your decision.
What set is Dendra from?+
Dendra #266 comes from Paldea Evolved, released in 2023. It is a special illustration rare featuring artwork by GIDORA, which is part of why it stands out from more common cards in the set.
