Iono #237 is one of the standout special illustration rares from Paldean Fates, the 2024 set that had collectors scrambling from the day it dropped, and it's easy to see why: hanabushi's artwork gives her that electric, larger-than-life energy that makes people stop scrolling. If you're trying to work out Iono value right now, the short version is that a raw copy sits at $27, which feels about right for a card this popular and this well pulled. It's not the rarest chase card in the set, but it's the kind of card that quietly holds a binder together.

The collector's take on Iono

Is Iono worth grading?

So is it worth grading? A raw copy runs $27, a Grade 9 comes in at $34, and a PSA 10 sits at $90, which works out to roughly 3.3 times the raw price once it comes back gem mint. That jump sounds tempting, but grading isn't free and it isn't guaranteed. You're paying submission fees either way, and if the card comes back a 9 instead of a 10, the gap between $34 and $90 is enormous for what might be one soft corner or a slightly off-center print. If you've got a copy that looks genuinely flawless under a light, sending it in can make sense. If it's got any visible wear, you're often better off keeping it raw or selling it as-is rather than gambling submission costs on a coin flip.

How rare is it?

Across all grading services, 8,363 copies of this Iono have been graded so far, and of those, 3,935 have come back as PSA 10. That's a genuinely high proportion sitting at the top grade, which tells you this card was printed cleanly and pulled by a lot of people who cared enough to protect it right away. It's not a scarce card in absolute terms, but that population data explains why the PSA 10 premium isn't sky high: gem mint copies exist in real numbers, so the price reflects steady demand rather than desperate scarcity.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we don't just guess at odds, we record real pulls across real pack sites. Iono has shown up 92 times in our data, pulled from sites like courtyard and collector-crypt, tucked inside products like the Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack. The best recorded hit came in at $173, which shows how a single good pull can swing well above the card's usual market value. Just remember that opening packs is a gamble by nature, most rips don't come close to covering their cost, so treat any pull like this as a nice surprise rather than a plan.

Questions people ask

How much is Iono worth?+

A raw, ungraded copy of Iono #237 is valued around $27. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $34 and a PSA 10 reaching $90, so condition makes a real difference here.

Is Iono worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for about 3.3 times the raw price. But grading costs money and there's no guarantee of a perfect result, so it's really only worth it if your copy already looks near flawless.

What set is Iono from?+

Iono #237 comes from Paldean Fates, released in 2024, and is a special illustration rare illustrated by hanabushi. It's one of the more sought after pulls from that set thanks to the artwork alone.
