Ethan's Ho-Oh ex is one of the standout Ultra Rares from the 2025 Destined Rivals set, brought to life by aky CG Works with the kind of illustration that makes you stop and look twice. If you're trying to pin down Ethan's Ho-Oh ex value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits around $5, but that number tells you almost nothing about what the card can become in the right condition. Collectors love it because it's one of those cards where patience and a good grade can turn a cheap pickup into something worth real money.

The collector's take on Ethan's Ho-Oh ex

Is Ethan's Ho-Oh ex worth grading?

Here's where it gets interesting. A raw Ethan's Ho-Oh ex is worth about $5, but a PSA 10 sells for $2,305, which works out to roughly 445.8 times the ungraded price. That's a massive gap, and it's exactly why people get tempted to send cards off to grading companies. But gem mint isn't a given. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back a 10 instead of a 9, which is worth $1,121, or lower still. If you've genuinely inspected the corners, centering, and surface under good light and you believe it's flawless, grading can make sense. If there's any doubt, it might be smarter to enjoy the card raw or sell it as is rather than gamble on the grade.

How rare is Ethan's Ho-Oh ex?

Right now there are 4,384 graded copies of Ethan's Ho-Oh ex on record, and 2,906 of those are PSA 10. That's a notably high share landing at the top grade, which tells you this card tends to grade well when it's in good shape to begin with. It doesn't mean pulling a perfect one is easy, though. Out of the full population, still only a portion reach that gem mint tier, and that scarcity at the very top is a big part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else.

Where can you pull Ethan's Ho-Oh ex?

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in, since we log real pulls across pack opening sites rather than just relying on price guides. We've recorded Ethan's Ho-Oh ex pulled 14 times so far, showing up across lastpack and packs, with the biggest recorded pull value coming in at $6. It's turned up in a mix of pack types too, including starter, Catch 'em All - Destined Rivals, and rookie packs. It's not a card that floods every pack opening stream, so most of the copies you'll see for sale are coming from the secondary market rather than fresh pulls, and that's worth keeping in mind if you're chasing one yourself.
