Tap to open
Gloom #109 comes from the Japanese Ruler of the Black Flame set, and it's one of those in-between evolutions that collectors quietly love, not flashy like a Charizard but full of character and nostalgia for anyone who grew up with the games. If you're here looking up Gloom value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $8, which makes it an approachable card to chase whether you're filling a binder or just curious what your pull is worth. It's not a chase card in the traditional sense, but it has real, tracked value, and that's worth understanding before you buy, sell, or send one off to grading.

The collector's take on Gloom
Is Gloom worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown: a raw Gloom runs about $8, a Grade 9 sits at $31, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $103, which works out to 12.2 times the raw price. That's a real jump, no question, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on cards from this era, corners and centering can trip up copies you'd swear were perfect. Grading isn't free, and it isn't fast, so before you submit, think about what you're actually holding: if it's already sharp with clean edges, the upside is there, but if it's a middling copy, you could spend more on grading fees than the card gains in value. It's less about hope and more about knowing your card.
How rare is Gloom?
We don't have exact population numbers on Gloom in hand, but that's actually pretty normal for a card at this level, it's not the kind of card that gets submitted in bulk the way chase rares do. What that tells you is that supply in top grades is naturally thin simply because fewer people bother sending common evolutions off to be graded, which keeps genuinely gem mint copies scarce even without a flashy rarity symbol. That scarcity is part of why the PSA 10 price stands so far above the raw price, it's not hype, it's just math on how few perfect copies exist relative to demand.
Where can you pull Gloom?
This is where PackSpy actually gives you something a price guide can't: real, recorded pulls. We've tracked Gloom pulled 70 times across courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull value hitting $310, so it does show up and it can occasionally surprise you. It's turned up in packs like the Wildcard Basic Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, so if you're opening on those sites, keep an eye out. Just remember, opening packs is a gamble by nature, most rips don't beat what you paid, so treat any Gloom pull as a nice bonus rather than something to bank on.

Is Gloom worth grading?+
It depends on the copy in your hands. The PSA 10 price is 12.2 times the raw value, which sounds tempting, but gem mint is genuinely tough to land, so only send in copies that look sharp under a loupe, otherwise grading fees can eat your profit.
