Iono is the kind of card that stops you mid-scroll, a special illustration rare from Paldea Evolved, released back in 2023 and brought to life by kirisAki's artwork. She's one of the most sought after trainer gallery pulls from that era, and if you're trying to figure out Iono value right now, the raw card is sitting at $59. That's a solid number for a card this recent, and it tells you collectors still care about her two years on.

The collector's take on Iono
Is Iono worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a raw copy runs $59, a Grade 9 comes in at $60, and a PSA 10 jumps to $173, which works out to about 2.9 times the raw price. Notice that Grade 9 barely moves the needle over raw, the real reward only shows up if you land a true gem mint. That's the catch with grading: sending in a card costs money and time no matter what comes back, and centering, edge wear, or a stray print line can knock you down a grade without warning. If you've got a copy that looks flawless under a loupe, it might be worth the gamble. If it's just decent, you may be better off enjoying it raw or selling as is.
How rare is it?
Special illustration rares like Iono sit near the top of the rarity ladder in modern sets, printed in smaller numbers than your standard holos and pulled far less often per box. We don't have official population data to point to here, but that rarity tier alone explains why the price holds steady rather than crashing the way common cards do. Fewer copies floating around, especially in top condition, is exactly why a PSA 10 commands such a premium over raw.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than just guessing. We've recorded Iono pulled 97 times across courtyard and collector-crypt, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $173, right at PSA 10 territory. She's shown up in the Pokémon Pro Pack, the Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Ultra (Spicy), the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and the Pokémon Starter Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't cover their cost, so treat any of these as a chase, not a plan. But if you're going to chase her, those are the packs where she's actually been showing up.

Is Iono worth grading?+
It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 pays out at $173, nearly 2.9 times raw, but a Grade 9 barely beats the raw price at $60, so grading only really pays off if your card is genuinely gem mint quality.
