Tap to open
Elgyem #120 is one of the illustration rares from Black Bolt, the 2025 set that gave this quiet little psychic Pokemon a genuinely lovely piece of art from Masako Tomii. If you're here checking Elgyem value, the short version is that it's a modest but real card: $15 raw, with real upside if you send the right copy off to grading. It's the kind of card that won't break the bank to own, which is exactly why so many collectors end up with a few copies in their binders.

The collector's take on Elgyem
Is Elgyem worth grading?
So is Elgyem worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy sits at $15, a Grade 9 comes in at $19, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $230, which works out to about 15.8 times the raw price. That's a big enough gap to make grading tempting, but gem mint isn't easy to land. Illustration rares like this one show every little edge wear or centering flaw under grading lights, so you're paying for shipping, grading fees, and time, with no guarantee the card comes back a 10. If you've got a copy that looks sharp with clean edges and centering, it's worth considering. If it's got soft corners or you're not sure, it might be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell it as is rather than gamble the grading fee away.
How rare is Elgyem?
We don't have hard population numbers to point to for Elgyem in PSA 10, and that's worth being upfront about. What we do know is that illustration rares as a category tend to be tougher pulls than your standard rares, since they're built around showcase artwork rather than sheer print volume. That scarcity in the top grade is really what's driving the gap between the $15 raw price and the $230 PSA 10 figure. Fewer perfect copies floating around means the ones that do exist carry a real premium.
Where can you pull Elgyem?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing at odds. Elgyem has been recorded pulled 200 or more times across sites like tilt-rips, lastpack, collector-crypt, and courtyard, so it's not some ultra-rare chase card, it shows up with some regularity. We've seen it land in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, explorer, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, rookie, and starter, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $48. That range tells you something honest: most of the time you're pulling a $15 card, and every so often someone hits a nicer copy or grading pays off. Worth remembering that opening packs is a gamble at the end of the day, and most rips don't beat what you'd pay buying the card outright.
Questions people ask
How much is Elgyem worth?+
A raw or ungraded Elgyem #120 from Black Bolt is valued around $15. That's the baseline most collectors will pay or sell for on the secondary market before grading enters the picture.
Is Elgyem worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. The jump from $15 raw to $230 for a PSA 10 is significant, roughly 15.8 times the raw value, but gem mint copies are genuinely hard to pull off, especially with illustration rare artwork covering the card. If your copy already looks clean and well centered, grading can make sense, otherwise it's a real risk.
How much is a PSA 10 Elgyem worth?+
A PSA 10 Elgyem is worth $230, compared to $19 for a Grade 9 and $15 raw. That gap shows just how much a perfect grade matters for this card.
