Tap to open
Dragonite has always had a soft spot in collectors' hearts, that big lovable dragon feels almost gentle for a card with real teeth in the market. This Holo Rare version, card #9 from the 2002 Expedition set and illustrated by Kagemaru Himeno, is the one people search for when they want to know Dragonite value in 2024 and beyond. It's old enough to carry real nostalgia, scarce enough in top grades to matter, and it holds value in a way a lot of newer holos simply don't.

The collector's take on Dragonite
Is Dragonite worth grading?
Here's the honest math on Dragonite price by grade: raw copies sit at $352, a Grade 9 jumps to $3,277, and a PSA 10 sits at $55,244, which works out to about 156.8 times the raw price. That gap is enormous, and it's exactly why so many people ask if Dragonite is worth grading. The truth is grading is a bet, not a guarantee: submission fees, turnaround time, and the very real chance your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10 all factor in. If you've got a copy with sharp corners, clean edges, and centered artwork, it might be worth the shot, but go in knowing gem mint is the exception, not the rule, for a card this old.
How rare is Dragonite?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 2,399 graded copies of this Dragonite on record, and only 58 of those are PSA 10. That's a tiny sliver sitting at the very top of a fairly small pyramid. When you consider how many Expedition packs were opened over the years, a population that small at gem mint tells you how demanding this card is on centering, print quality, and surface, and it's a big part of why that PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else.
Where can you pull Dragonite?
PackSpy has tracked 175 recorded pulls of this Dragonite across pack sites, courtyard, collector-crypt, packz, tilt-rips, and mnstr, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $2,050. We've seen it turn up in products like Dragonite, I Choose You!, Pokémon Pro Pack, WATCH 500, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack. That's data no price guide gives you, real pulls from real openings, not just theoretical odds. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs chasing a card like this is gambling, and most rips don't come close to what you'd pay buying the card outright on the secondary market.
Questions people ask
How much is Dragonite worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy of this Expedition Dragonite is valued at $352. Once you factor in grading, a Grade 9 runs $3,277 and a PSA 10 climbs all the way to $55,244, so condition changes the picture drastically.
Is Dragonite worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is genuinely sharp: strong centering, clean edges, no whitening. The jump from raw to PSA 10 is about 156.8 times the value, but only 58 out of 2,399 graded copies have hit that top grade, so it's a real gamble, not a sure thing.
How much is a PSA 10 Dragonite worth?+
A PSA 10 copy of this Dragonite is worth $55,244. That's a massive step up from the raw price of $352, and it reflects just how rare gem mint copies are, with only 58 out of 2,399 total graded copies reaching that grade.
