Tap to open
Genesect ex is the Ultra Rare chase card from the Black Bolt set, released in 2025 and illustrated by 5ban Graphics, and it's the kind of pull that gets a whole pack-opening video paused and rewound. Collectors love it for that sharp, mechanical Genesect artwork and the fact that it's an ex card, which always carries a little more weight in a set. If you're here checking Genesect ex value, the short answer is that raw copies sit at just $3, but the story gets a lot more interesting once grading enters the picture.

The collector's take on Genesect ex
Is Genesect ex worth grading?
So is Genesect ex worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy books at $3, a Grade 9 jumps to $274, and a PSA 10 sits at $537, which works out to roughly 189.1 times the raw price. That's a massive spread on paper, but remember it only pays off if the card actually comes back gem mint, and plenty of copies get knocked down to a 9 or lower over a soft corner or a print line you didn't notice under normal light. Grading costs money and takes time regardless of what grade you get back, so this only really makes sense if your copy looks flawless to your eye before you ever send it in. For a $3 card, it's a fun gamble to consider, but go in with your eyes open.
How rare is Genesect ex?
Right now there are 1,172 total graded copies of Genesect ex on record, and 774 of those are already sitting at PSA 10. That's a notably high share of gem mints for a population this size, which tells you this particular card tends to grade well when people do send it in, rather than being a nightmare pull for centering or print quality. It also means PSA 10 population alone doesn't create scarcity pressure the way it does on tougher cards, so the price gap between grades is really about demand for the ex card itself rather than a shortage of gem copies.
Where can you pull Genesect ex?
PackSpy has tracked 19 recorded pulls of Genesect ex across live pack openings, spanning packs and lastpack, with sightings turning up in Black and White EX, starter, and noobie style packs. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for it sits at $3, which lines up with where the raw market actually sits rather than any inflated pack-site number. That's the value of watching real openings instead of guessing: it tells you this card does show up in circulation, it's just not the kind of pull that swings a pack site's leaderboard, so treat it as a nice bonus hit rather than the reason to buy in.
Questions people ask
How much is Genesect ex worth?+
A raw, ungraded Genesect ex is currently valued at $3. Once graded, the price climbs fast, with a Grade 9 worth $274 and a PSA 10 worth $537, so the value really depends on condition and whether it's been graded at all.
Is Genesect ex worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 189.1 times the raw price. But grading has real cost and risk, and with 774 of the 1,172 graded copies already sitting at PSA 10, plenty of copies do grade out well, though nothing is guaranteed until it's back in your hands.
How much is a PSA 10 Genesect ex worth?+
A PSA 10 Genesect ex is worth $537, compared to just $3 for a raw copy. With 774 PSA 10 copies out of 1,172 total graded, gem mint is well represented in the population, but it's still where nearly all the card's value sits.
