Tap to open
Heracross #194 comes from the Paldea Evolved set, released back in 2023, and it's an illustration rare that shows off Kurata So's artwork in a way that photos really don't do justice. Collectors gravitate toward it because illustration rares like this one blend a fan favorite Pokemon with a scarcer print run, and that combination is exactly why people keep searching for a straight answer on Heracross value. If you're wondering how much is Heracross worth right now, the short answer is it depends heavily on condition, but we'll walk through the real numbers below.

The collector's take on Heracross
Is Heracross worth grading?
Here's the honest math on grading this one: a raw, ungraded copy sits around $29, while a PSA 10 comes in at $604, which works out to roughly 21.2 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's the kind of gap that gets people excited about sending cards in. But gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on illustration rares like this, since any whitening on the edges or a slightly off-center print can knock you down a grade. Interestingly, Grade 9 copies have been trading even higher than PSA 10s at $1,536, which is a reminder that grading markets can shift in ways a simple price guide won't always predict. Add in grading fees, turnaround time, and the chance your card comes back lower than hoped, and grading starts to look less like a guaranteed win and more like a calculated bet. If your copy already looks clean under a loupe, it's worth considering. If it's got visible wear, you might be better off keeping it raw or selling as is.
How rare is Heracross?
Across all grading companies combined, there are 3,190 graded copies of Heracross #194 on record, and of those, only 671 have earned a PSA 10. That means gem mint copies make up a little over a fifth of everything graded, which tells you this card is not a pushover when it comes to condition. Every crease, scratch, or print line matters, and that's part of why the PSA 10 price sits so far above the raw card. Scarcity at the very top end is really what drives value here, more than scarcity of the card overall.
Where can you pull Heracross?
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pack openings across sites rather than relying on guesswork. Heracross #194 has been pulled 91 times across platforms including tilt-rips, mnstr, courtyard, and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $400. We've seen it show up in a mix of products, from the Pokemon Dime Pack and Pack 1 to the Wildcard Basic Pack, The Amazing Chase Encore, and the Pokémon Starter Pack. It's worth remembering that opening packs is fundamentally a gamble, and most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an expectation. If you're chasing this specific card, checking where it's actually been showing up gives you a much better shot than opening blind.
