Question 1

Is Kingambit worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's the honest math: a raw Kingambit sits at $11, a Grade 9 moves that up to $24, and a PSA 10 currently commands $207, which works out to about 19.2 times the raw price. That's a real jump, and it's the reason so many people ask if Kingambit is worth grading. The catch is that hitting a true gem mint 10 isn't guaranteed, illustration rares like this one show every whitening and edge wear clearly because of how much ink covers the card, so a copy that looks perfect to your eye can still come back a 9. Add in grading fees and the wait time, and grading only really makes sense if your copy is centered well and free of visible flaws under a light. If it's a little soft in one corner, it's probably better loved and kept raw or sold as is.

Question 2

How rare is Kingambit?

Accepted Answer

As an illustration rare from Scarlet & Violet, Kingambit was never going to be an easy pull to begin with, that rarity tier sits above your standard holo and well above commons, so fewer copies exist in circulation relative to the rest of the set. That scarcity is part of why the gap between raw and PSA 10 pricing is so wide, gem mint copies simply don't turn up in volume, and demand for a well loved illustration doesn't fade quickly. When a card is naturally scarce like this, condition does a lot of the heavy lifting on price.

Question 3

Where can you pull Kingambit?

Accepted Answer

We've tracked Kingambit being pulled 61 times across the pack sites we monitor, including courtyard, mnstr, and lastpack, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $45. It's shown up in a mix of pack types too, from the Pokémon Starter Pack and Wildcard Basic Pack to the Pokémon Basic Pack, Pack 1, and trainer. That spread tells you it's not locked to one site or one product, it's a card that surfaces here and there rather than reliably, which lines up with what you'd expect from an illustration rare. If you're chasing one through packs, know going in that opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't beat what you'd pay buying the card outright, but the data at least shows you where it has actually turned up.

Question 4

How much is Kingambit worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Kingambit is valued around $11 right now. Grade it and get a 9, and it moves to about $24, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $207. So how much Kingambit is worth really depends on the condition and whether it's been graded.

Question 5

Is Kingambit worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sits at roughly 19.2 times the raw price. But grading costs money and time, and illustration rares show flaws easily, so it's worth grading if your copy already looks clean and well centered, not as a hopeful gamble on a rough one.

Question 6

What set is Kingambit from?

Accepted Answer

Kingambit #220 comes from the Scarlet & Violet set, released in 2023. It's an illustration rare, illustrated by Shin Nagasawa, which is part of why the artwork stands out so much compared to a standard holo.
