Tap to open
Houndstone #168 is one of those Paldean Fates pulls that makes you stop and actually look at the card before sliding it into a sleeve, thanks to Shin Nagasawa's shiny rare artwork giving it a bit of shimmer and personality most base cards don't have. It came out in 2024 as part of a set that collectors already loved for its shiny rare lineup, and that's exactly why people keep searching for Houndstone value long after the set released. Right now a raw copy sits at $3, which tells you it's an accessible card to own even if you're just starting to build out a Paldean Fates collection.

The collector's take on Houndstone
Is Houndstone worth grading?
So is Houndstone worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs about $3, a Grade 9 sits at $10, and a PSA 10 jumps up to $25, which works out to roughly 7.8 times the raw price. That's a real multiplier, but grading fees and shipping eat into that margin fast, and hitting a true gem mint 10 isn't guaranteed just because a card looks clean to your eye. If you've already got a copy with sharp corners and clean edges, grading can make sense as a fun project, but if you're buying specifically to grade, it's worth remembering you're paying now for a payoff that depends on the card coming back perfect.
How rare is Houndstone?
As a shiny rare in the Paldean Fates set, Houndstone sits in a rarity tier that was designed to feel special without being impossible to find, which is part of why it holds steady interest without becoming a chase card. We don't have population numbers to point to here, so instead of guessing, it's fairer to say this: shiny rares from this set were plentiful enough that raw copies stay affordable, but genuinely gem mint examples are still a smaller slice of what's out there, which is exactly why the PSA 10 price sits so far above raw.
Where can you pull Houndstone?
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we don't just quote a price guide, we track real pulls across pack sites. Houndstone has been pulled 179 times across tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, showing up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Rookie Pack, Novice Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card sits at $115, which is a nice reminder that pack odds can swing wildly depending on grading and buyer demand that day. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to that number, so treat it as entertainment first and a possible bonus second.
Questions people ask
How much is Houndstone worth?+
A raw or ungraded Houndstone from Paldean Fates is valued at $3 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $10 and a PSA 10 reaching $25, so condition really does move the needle on this one.
Is Houndstone worth grading?+
It depends on what you're starting with. The jump from $3 raw to $25 for a PSA 10 is about 7.8 times the value, which sounds great on paper, but grading costs money and gem mint 10s aren't a sure thing, so it's smarter as a bonus on a card you'd keep anyway rather than a guaranteed profit play.
How much is a PSA 10 Houndstone worth?+
A PSA 10 Houndstone is currently valued at $25, compared to $3 for a raw copy and $10 for a Grade 9. That gap shows just how much collectors are willing to pay for a confirmed gem mint copy of this shiny rare.
