Grookey #8 comes from the McDonald's 2021 set, one of those nostalgic little promo cards that came tucked into Happy Meal packaging back in 2021, illustrated by kirisAki. It doesn't carry a fancy rarity tag, but that hasn't stopped collectors from chasing it down, especially people who grew up with a soft spot for the starter Pokemon lineup. If you're here wondering about Grookey value, the short answer is that it's an affordable card raw, but grading changes the picture quite a bit, and we'll walk through exactly how much below.

The collector's take on Grookey
Is Grookey worth grading?
Here's the honest breakdown on Grookey price when it comes to grading: raw copies sit around $2, while a PSA 10 comes in at $53, which works out to about 33.8x the raw price. A Grade 9 actually lands a bit higher at $69, which is a good reminder that grading results don't always move in a straight line, and market pricing can be a little unpredictable even between adjacent grades. Out of 280 total graded copies, 71 have hit that PSA 10 gem mint mark, so it's not an impossible pull, but it's far from guaranteed either. Grading costs money and takes time, and there's always a chance your card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, so if you're sending one in, do it because you love the card, not because you're chasing a sure profit.
How rare is Grookey?
Right now there are 280 graded copies of Grookey on record, and 71 of those sit at PSA 10. That means roughly a quarter of graded copies have reached gem mint condition, which is a decent slice, but it still leaves plenty of copies in lower grades or ungraded entirely. For a McDonald's promo card, a population like this tells you people are grading it steadily rather than in huge waves, and that kind of measured scarcity is part of what keeps the PSA 10 price sitting well above the raw card.
Where can you pull Grookey?
This is where PackSpy earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack opening sites rather than just guessing. We've recorded Grookey being pulled 11 times total, spread across courtyard and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $35. Collectors have found it inside the Pokémon Pro Pack, the Pokémon Starter Pack, rookie, and the Wildcard Starter Pack, so if you're hoping to rip your way to one, those are the packs worth keeping an eye on. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble at heart, most rips don't come out ahead financially, so treat any pull of Grookey as a fun bonus rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Grookey worth?+
A raw, ungraded Grookey #8 from the McDonald's 2021 set is valued at $2. Once you factor in grading, the number changes quite a bit, with Grade 9 copies reaching $69 and PSA 10 copies valued at $53.
Is Grookey worth grading?+
It depends on what you're after. The jump from $2 raw to $53 for a PSA 10 (about 33.8x) is real money, but with only 71 out of 280 graded copies hitting that gem mint grade, there's no guarantee your copy makes it there, so weigh the grading cost against that risk before sending it in.
How much is a PSA 10 Grookey worth?+
A PSA 10 Grookey is valued at $53, which is about 33.8 times the raw card's value. Interestingly, Grade 9 copies currently sit a bit higher at $69, so it's worth checking current pricing closely before you decide anything based on grade alone.
