The collector's take on Garchomp ex
Is Garchomp ex worth grading?
Here's the real math: a raw Garchomp ex sits at $38, a Grade 9 gets you to $46, but a PSA 10 jumps to $255, which works out to about 6.8 times the raw price. That gap is tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on a special illustration rare like this one since the print quality and centering have to be close to perfect, and grading isn't free or instant. If your copy already looks sharp under a loupe, with clean edges and no whitening, it's worth the shot. If it's got soft corners or a visible print line, you're probably better off enjoying it raw or selling as-is rather than gambling on grading fees for a Grade 9 result.
How rare is Garchomp ex?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 6,701 graded copies of Garchomp ex on record, and only 2,135 of those earned a PSA 10. That's roughly a third landing in gem mint, which is a decent rate as these things go, but it still means two out of three graded copies fall short of perfect. For collectors, that population split is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above raw and Grade 9, scarcity at the very top tier is doing real work here.
Where can you pull Garchomp ex?
PackSpy has tracked 29 recorded pulls of Garchomp ex across sites like courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest single pull landing at $300. We've seen it show up in a handful of pack types, including the Pokémon Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. That's the kind of cross-site data a static price guide simply doesn't have, and it's worth remembering that most pack opens don't hit anything close to this, so treat ripping packs as entertainment first and a value play second.
