Tap to open
Helioptile #52 is a Common from the 2025 Mega Evolution set, drawn up by Yuka Morii with that clean, cheerful style she's known for. It's not a card that turns heads at first glance, but Helioptile value has become a genuine talking point for collectors putting together the set, since even the common slots in a fresh release get watched closely. Raw copies sit right around $1, which makes sense for a common, but the grading numbers attached to this little guy are what make people stop and look twice.

The collector's take on Helioptile
Is Helioptile worth grading?
Here's the honest answer on whether Helioptile is worth grading: a raw copy runs about $1, a Grade 9 climbs to $11, and a true PSA 10 sits at $80, which works out to roughly 85.1x the raw price. That's a big jump on paper, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land, commons often have small print or centering issues that keep them out of that top grade, and grading fees plus shipping and wait times eat into any profit fast. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, sending it in can make sense, but for most raw Helioptile cards sitting in a binder, they're probably worth more as a keepsake than a grading project right now.
How rare is Helioptile?
As a common from a brand new set, Helioptile isn't scarce in the way a rare chase card is, print runs on commons tend to be large and copies are easy to find raw. Where scarcity actually shows up is at the top of the grading scale: pulling a genuine PSA 10 out of a fresh common is trickier than people expect, since print lines, edge wear, and centering all have to line up perfectly. That gap between how common the card is raw and how uncommon it is in gem mint is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above everything else.
Where can you pull Helioptile?
PackSpy has tracked 20 real pulls of Helioptile across pack sites, mainly on courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $47. It's turned up in a handful of different products, including the Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, and Pokémon Pro Pack, so it's not tied to one single box. That said, opening packs chasing a specific common is still a gamble, most rips don't come close to covering what you paid, and our pull data is really there to show you what's actually happening across sites rather than to talk anyone into ripping packs.
Questions people ask
How much is Helioptile worth?+

Is Helioptile worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. The PSA 10 price of $80 is about 85.1x the raw value, which sounds tempting, but gem mint commons are genuinely hard to pull off, and grading costs plus the risk of a lower grade coming back need to factor into your decision.
What set is Helioptile from?+
Helioptile #52 comes from the Mega Evolution set, released in 2025. It's a Common card illustrated by Yuka Morii.
