Hydrapple is one of those Illustration Rares from Destined Rivals that stops people mid-scroll, and the artwork from Jerky is a big reason why. Pulled from a 2025 set that's already become a favorite among collectors, this card sits at #188 and carries the kind of appeal that keeps its Hydrapple value steady rather than flashy. If you're trying to figure out what your copy is actually worth, the short answer is that a raw copy runs about $5, but the number changes a lot depending on condition and grading.

The collector's take on Hydrapple
Is Hydrapple worth grading?
So is Hydrapple worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw copy sits around $5, a Grade 9 gets you to $17, and a true PSA 10 jumps all the way to $72, which works out to roughly 14.5 times the raw price. That's a real jump, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on illustration rares because the ink and detail on these full-art style cards show every whitening and edge wear under grading lights. Factor in grading fees and turnaround time before you send one in, and only submit copies that already look flawless to your eye, because a Grade 9 result barely covers your costs once fees are in.
How rare is Hydrapple?
Across all grading companies combined, only 2,253 copies of Hydrapple have been graded, and of those just 867 have come back as a PSA 10. That's roughly a third of the graded population hitting gem mint, which is a decent hit rate on paper but still means two out of three submissions fall short. For collectors, that population data is the real story: it tells you PSA 10 copies aren't rare in some absolute sense, but they're rare enough that demand keeps pushing that top grade toward $72 while raw and lower grades stay much more accessible.
Where can you pull Hydrapple?
PackSpy has tracked Hydrapple being pulled 16 times across live pack sites, with sightings coming from Catch 'em All - Destined Rivals, as well as starter and rookie style packs. The biggest recorded pull came in at $517, which shows just how much a single hot rip can swing when a card like this lands well. That said, 16 pulls is not a lot in the grand scheme of things, so most people end up buying Hydrapple on the secondary market rather than chasing it through packs, and it's worth remembering that opening packs is fundamentally a gamble where most rips don't pay for themselves.
