Kakuna is one of those cards that quietly reminds you how much history is packed into the Pokemon TCG. This 1st Edition #6 printing comes from the Japanese 20th Anniversary set, released back in 2016, and it carries the uncommon rarity with artwork from Keiji Kinebuchi that still holds up today. If you are searching for Kakuna value, the short answer is that raw copies sit around $2, which makes it an approachable little piece of 20th Anniversary history rather than a big investment play.

The collector's take on Kakuna
Is Kakuna worth grading?
So is Kakuna worth grading? A raw copy runs about $2, and a PSA 10 sits at $10, which works out to roughly 5.0x the ungraded price. That is a real jump in percentage terms, but the dollar amount is still small once you factor in what grading actually costs. Grade 9 pricing on this card is not established yet, which is common for lower value commons and uncommons, and hitting a true gem mint 10 is never guaranteed even on a clean looking card. If you already own one and it looks sharp, sending it in could be fun, but this is not the kind of card where grading turns into a profit strategy on its own.
How rare is Kakuna?
Kakuna sits in the uncommon tier of the Japanese 20th Anniversary set, which means it was never meant to be scarce the way a holo or secret rare would be. There is no official population data pointing to a tiny surviving pool of PSA 10s, so the rarity here comes more from its print era and 1st edition status than from raw scarcity numbers. That matters for value: uncommons like this tend to stay affordable and accessible, which is actually great news if you just want a genuine piece of the set without chasing a chase card price tag.
Where can you pull Kakuna?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, since we record real pack pulls across sites rather than relying on guesswork. Kakuna has shown up 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt and mnstr, so it is far from a mystery pull. We have seen it land in the Pokemon Dime Pack, Pokemon Basic Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack and Pokemon Pro Pack, and the biggest recorded pull value tied to this card sits at $65. Worth remembering though, opening packs is gambling by nature, and most rips do not come close to that number, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than the plan.
Questions people ask
How much is Kakuna worth?+
A raw or ungraded Kakuna from this 1st Edition #6 Japanese 20th Anniversary printing is worth about $2. Graded gem mint copies at PSA 10 are valued closer to $10, which is about 5.0x the raw price.
Is Kakuna worth grading?+
It can be, but go in with realistic expectations. The move from raw at $2 to PSA 10 at $10 is a solid multiplier percentage wise, but the actual dollar gain is modest once grading fees are factored in, so it makes more sense as a fun project than a money maker.
Why is the Kakuna 1st Edition #6 print worth more than the standard one?+
1st Edition printings from the Japanese 20th Anniversary set carry extra appeal for collectors because they mark the earliest print run of that release. Combined with Keiji Kinebuchi's artwork and the set's anniversary significance, that history adds a premium even on an uncommon card like Kakuna.
