Tap to open
Devolution Spray 1st Edition #72 is one of those quietly clever cards from the original 1999 Base Set, a rare trainer illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi that does not always get the spotlight but has earned real respect from long time collectors. If you are searching for a Devolution Spray value check, the short version is that it sits comfortably in that sweet spot of Base Set history: old enough to matter, scarce enough to hold its ground, and still attainable for most collectors. Whether you already own one or are eyeing a copy, it is a nice piece of that original 151 era to have in a binder.

The collector's take on Devolution Spray
Is Devolution Spray worth grading?
So is Devolution Spray worth grading? Right now a raw, ungraded copy trades around $43, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is valued at $1,091, which works out to roughly 25.6 times the raw price. That is a genuinely tempting jump on paper, but the catch is getting there. Base Set cards from 1999 often show print lines, centering issues, or edge wear that keeps them out of gem mint territory, and a Grade 9 only brings in $165, a much smaller reward for the same grading fee and waiting time. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe, grading can make sense, but if there is any doubt, it might be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell it as is rather than gamble on a PSA 10 that may not come back.
How rare is Devolution Spray?
Population numbers tell a pretty clear story here. Across all grading services, only 1,351 copies of Devolution Spray have been graded, and of those, just 136 have earned a PSA 10. That means gem mint copies make up a small slice of an already modest total, which helps explain why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures. When a card has this few true gem copies floating around, each one becomes a bit more meaningful to collectors chasing a complete, high grade Base Set run.
Where can you pull Devolution Spray?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we record real pulls across pack opening sites rather than relying on price guides alone. So far we have logged Devolution Spray being pulled just 1 time, on phygitals, with a recorded pull value of $34, spotted in the pack titled 1-mythic-ewhv3o. That single data point tells you plainly this is not a card you should expect to rip open in a pack anytime soon. It is worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble no matter the site, and most rips do not come close to covering their cost, so if you specifically want Devolution Spray, buying a known copy on the secondary market is usually the more reliable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Devolution Spray worth?+
A raw, ungraded Devolution Spray currently sits around $43. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 valued at $165 and a PSA 10 reaching $1,091, so the price really depends on condition and whether it has been graded.
Is Devolution Spray worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 25.6 times the raw price. But with only 136 PSA 10 copies out of 1,351 total graded, gem mint is genuinely hard to hit, so grading only makes sense if your card is already in excellent shape.
What set is Devolution Spray from?+
Devolution Spray 1st Edition #72 comes from the original Base Set, released in 1999. It is a rare card illustrated by Keiji Kinebuchi and remains a recognizable piece of that first wave of Pokemon cards.
