Tap to open
Doduo comes from the original Base Set, that first wave of Pokemon cards from 1999-2000 that so many of us cut our teeth on. As card #48 and a common illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita, it was never meant to be a chase card, but that's exactly what makes it a nice, honest piece of Pokemon history to hold onto. If you're here checking Doduo value, the short answer is that raw copies sit at $2, which feels about right for a common from this era that still gets pulled and collected today.

The collector's take on Doduo
Is Doduo worth grading?
So is Doduo worth grading? Let's talk numbers plainly. A raw copy runs about $2, a Grade 9 sits at $18, and a PSA 10 in gem mint condition climbs to $85, which works out to roughly 42.2 times the raw price. That jump looks tempting, but here's the honest part: hitting a PSA 10 on an older common like this isn't guaranteed, centering and print quality from this era can be unforgiving, and grading fees plus shipping and the waiting game all eat into any profit if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10. If you've got a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, corners crisp, centering clean, it might be worth the gamble. If it's a beater from a binder, it's probably happier staying raw.
How rare is Doduo?
Across all grading submissions, only 97 copies of this Doduo have been graded, and of those just 25 have earned that coveted PSA 10 label. That's a fairly tight population for a common, and it tells you that even everyday cards from Base Set don't always survive decades of trading, sleeving, and childhood pockets in pristine shape. That scarcity at the top end is part of why the PSA 10 price stands so far above the raw and Grade 9 figures, gem mint copies of even a humble common become genuinely hard to find.
Where can you pull Doduo?
We track real pack pulls across sites, not just guesses, and Doduo has shown up 55 times in our recorded data from courtyard and collector-crypt. The biggest pull we've logged for this card came in at $98, which is a nice reminder that even a common Base Set card can surprise you. We've also seen it turn up in the Pokemon Pro Pack, Pokemon Master Pack, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, and Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, so if you're chasing this one through pack openings rather than buying it outright, those are the packs worth watching. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't cover their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus, not a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Doduo worth?+
A raw or ungraded Doduo from Base Set is worth about $2 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $18 and a PSA 10 reaching $85, so condition makes a real difference on this one.
Is Doduo worth grading?+
It depends on the copy in your hand. The PSA 10 price is about 42.2 times the raw value, which sounds great, but only 25 out of 97 graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it's not a sure thing, and grading costs and time should factor into your decision.
What set is Doduo from?+
Doduo is card #48 from the Base Set, released in 1999 to 2000, and it's a common illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita. It's one of those familiar faces from Pokemon's very first English set.
