Question 1

Is Groudon worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is it worth sending Groudon in for grading? Let's talk numbers honestly. A raw copy runs $103, a Grade 9 comes in at $121, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $645, which works out to about 6.3 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But here's the catch: gem mint isn't guaranteed just because you think your card looks perfect. Centering, corners, surface, print lines, any of it can knock you down to a 9 or lower, and grading fees plus shipping and the wait time all eat into your potential profit. If your copy is genuinely clean, grading can pay off nicely. If it's got soft corners or off-center printing, you might be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as-is rather than gambling on a PSA 10 that doesn't come back.

Question 2

How rare is Groudon?

Accepted Answer

Across all grading submissions, 17,583 copies of Groudon have been graded, and of those, 6,167 have come back as PSA 10. That's actually a decent chunk earning gem mint, which tells you the card isn't impossibly hard to pull off in top condition, but it also means the ones that don't make the cut are competing in a pretty large graded pool. Scarcity here isn't about a tiny population, it's about standing out within a big one, and that's exactly why the price gap between a Grade 9 and a PSA 10 is so wide.

Question 3

Where can you pull Groudon?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep. We've tracked Groudon being pulled 200 or more times across packs, collector-crypt, courtyard, and tilt-rips, so this isn't a card sitting only in price guides, it's genuinely showing up in real openings. We've seen it turn up in Celebrations Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, and Pokemon Expert Pack, and the biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card hit $1,580. That said, it's worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to that number. If you're chasing Groudon specifically, buying a known raw or graded copy is the safer route, but if you love the thrill of the pull, at least now you know which packs have actually delivered it.

Question 4

How much is Groudon worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Groudon from Paradox Rift is valued at $103. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $121 and a PSA 10 reaching $645, so condition makes a real difference to the price.

Question 5

Is Groudon worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth about 6.3 times the raw price. But grading costs money and takes time, and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, so it really depends on how clean the card looks before you send it in.
