Electrode has been a Jungle set favorite since 1999, that grumpy Poke Ball face rendered in classic Mitsuhiro Arita style making it instantly recognizable to anyone who grew up with these cards. As a Rare from one of the original expansions, it carries real nostalgia weight, and if you are trying to figure out Electrode value today, the short answer is that a raw copy runs $17, though the picture changes a lot once grading enters the conversation. This page breaks down exactly what Electrode is worth at every level, from played to gem mint.

The collector's take on Electrode

Is Electrode worth grading?

Here is where it gets interesting. A raw, ungraded Electrode sits at $17, a Grade 9 jumps to $84, and a PSA 10 commands $926, which works out to 55.2 times what the raw card sells for. That is a genuinely big gap, and it is the kind of number that makes people want to send every copy they own off to get graded. But gem mint is not easy to land on a 1999 Jungle card. Centering issues, print lines, and decades of handling all work against you, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time add up whether or not you pull a 10. If you already have a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, corners crisp and centering clean, it can be worth the gamble. If it has soft corners or edge wear, you are probably better off enjoying it raw or selling as is rather than paying to find out.

How rare is Electrode?

Across all grading companies, only 6,321 copies of Electrode have been graded to date, and of those, just 127 have earned a PSA 10. That means gem mint copies make up a small slice of an already limited population, which is exactly why the price jumps so sharply at the top end. When you are chasing a PSA 10, you are not just competing against other buyers, you are competing against math: very few copies have ever cleared that bar, and that scarcity is baked directly into the $926 price tag.

Where can you pull Electrode?

We track real pack pulls across sites like packs, courtyard, mnstr, and collector-crypt, and Electrode has shown up 200 or more times in that data, with one lucky pull recorded at $1,700. It has turned up in products like XY Evolutions, the Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pack 1. That is useful to know because it means Electrode is not some card you have to hunt down purely on the secondary market, it genuinely does show up in live breaks and openings, though as with any pack opening, the odds favor the house and most rips do not come close to that $1,700 outcome. If you are opening packs hoping to hit one, treat it as entertainment first and a value play second.

Questions people ask

How much is Electrode worth?+

A raw, ungraded Electrode from Jungle currently sits around $17. Once you factor in grading, a Grade 9 sits at $84 and a PSA 10 climbs to $926, so condition makes a huge difference to what it is actually worth.

Is Electrode worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 55.2 times the raw price of $17. But only 127 of the 6,321 graded copies have hit that top grade, so it is genuinely hard to pull off, and you should weigh grading costs against the realistic chance your copy grades that high.

How much is a PSA 10 Electrode worth?+

A PSA 10 Electrode is valued at $926, a big step up from the $84 you would get for a Grade 9 or the $17 raw price. That premium reflects just how rare gem mint copies are, with only 127 confirmed out of 6,321 total graded.
