The collector's take on Heliolisk
Is Heliolisk worth grading?
So is Heliolisk worth grading? Let's talk numbers first. A raw copy sits at $3, a Grade 9 gets you to $22, and a PSA 10 jumps all the way to $97, which works out to 33.6x the raw price. That's a real multiplier, but here's the honest part: gem mint 10s are genuinely hard to pull off, centering and edge wear on illustration rares can be unforgiving, and grading fees plus shipping and turnaround time eat into any profit if your card comes back a 9 or lower. If you already own a copy that looks sharp under a loupe, sending it in can make sense. If you're buying raw specifically to grade and flip, treat it like a gamble, not a sure thing.
How rare is Heliolisk?
Right now there are 104 graded copies of Heliolisk on record, and of those, 70 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That might sound like a healthy number of gem mints, but remember this is out of a fairly small total population overall, meaning most people who bothered to grade this card actually pulled or found a clean copy. That relationship between total population and PSA 10 count is a big part of what keeps the graded price where it is, scarcity at the very top always plays into value, even on a card with a modest raw price.
Where can you pull Heliolisk?
This is where PackSpy's real pull data comes in handy, and it's the kind of thing you won't find on a typical price guide. We've recorded Heliolisk pulled 65 times across collector-crypt, courtyard, and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $108. It's shown up in a handful of pack types too, including the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Mini Pack, and Pokémon Basic Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is gambling, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, but if you're going to chase Heliolisk specifically, those starter and mini style packs are where our data shows it's actually been landing.
Questions people ask
How much is Heliolisk worth?+
A raw, ungraded Heliolisk #229 is valued at $3, while a Grade 9 sits at $22 and a PSA 10 reaches $97. So the range really depends on condition and whether it's been graded, with gem mint copies commanding the biggest premium by far.
Is Heliolisk worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 33.6x the raw price, jumping from $3 up to $97. Just know that gem mint copies are tough to hit and grading has real costs and wait times, so it's worth weighing that risk before you send a copy in.
What set is Heliolisk from?+
Heliolisk #229 comes from the Ascended Heroes set, released in 2026. It's an illustration rare illustrated by Takeshi Nakamura, which is part of why the artwork stands out so much in this set.
