Tap to open
Koga's Beedrill is one of those Rare Holo cards from the 2000 Gym Challenge set that quietly built a following, thanks in part to Ken Sugimori's artwork and the fact it carries a Gym Leader's name into battle. If you are digging into Koga's Beedrill value, the short answer is that a raw copy sits at $22 right now, which feels almost modest for a card with this much history behind it. It is not a flashy chase card, but for collectors who grew up with Gym Challenge, it holds a real soft spot.
Price history
InteractiveRaw value is $25, up 87% over the past year, with an all-time high of $25 in October 2026.

The collector's take on Koga's Beedrill
Is Koga's Beedrill worth grading?
So is Koga's Beedrill worth grading? Here is the honest math: a raw copy is $22, a Grade 9 runs $92, and a PSA 10 sits at $1,991, which works out to roughly 92.6 times the raw price. That gap is real money, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land on cards from this era, since Gym Challenge holos often show print lines or edge wear straight from the pack. Before you send one in, factor in grading fees, turnaround time, and the chance it comes back a 9 instead of a 10, because that difference alone is the gap between $92 and $1,991. If your copy already looks sharp under a light with clean edges and no whitening, it is probably worth the gamble. If it is soft around the corners, you might just enjoy it raw.
How rare is Koga's Beedrill?
Gym Challenge cards were printed as part of a limited run back in 2000, and Rare Holos from that set were never as common on shelves as the base rarities. Koga's Beedrill fits into that tier: not the rarest card in the set, but scarce enough that clean, well centered copies do not show up constantly. That kind of scarcity is part of why the price climbs so sharply once you move from raw into graded territory, since demand for a nice copy outpaces the supply of nice copies still floating around two decades later.
Where can you pull Koga's Beedrill?
We have tracked Koga's Beedrill getting pulled 18 times across sites we monitor, including collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $481. It has turned up in a mix of packs, from Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack to Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pokémon Master Pack, so it is not tied to one single product. That said, pulling it is still the exception rather than the rule, and opening packs chasing a specific card like this is a gamble where most rips do not pay off. If you just want the card in hand, buying raw on the secondary market at $22 is usually the more predictable route.
Questions people ask
How much is Koga's Beedrill worth?+
A raw, ungraded Koga's Beedrill is worth $22 right now. That is the baseline most collectors reference before deciding whether grading makes sense for their copy.
Is Koga's Beedrill worth grading?+
It can be, if your copy is genuinely clean. A Grade 9 sits at $92 and a PSA 10 reaches $1,991, which is about 92.6 times the raw value, but gem mint copies are tough to pull off from this era, so weigh the grading cost against the realistic condition of your card first.
How much is a PSA 10 Koga's Beedrill worth?+
A PSA 10 Koga's Beedrill is valued at $1,991. That gem mint price reflects how much rarer a flawless copy is compared to the $22 raw version, and why grading feels tempting even though it is not guaranteed.
