Tap to open
Lotad is one of those quiet little Water-Grass types that longtime collectors just have a soft spot for, and this particular version comes from the Crystal Guardians set, released back in 2006. It's a Common card illustrated by Aya Kusube, so it was never chased for rarity in the traditional sense, but plenty of people search Lotad value simply because it's a fun piece of that era's checklist to track down. If you're wondering what this little guy is actually worth today, the short answer is: modest, but steady.

The collector's take on Lotad
Is Lotad worth grading?
So is Lotad worth grading? Honestly, it depends on what you're hoping to get out of it. A raw, ungraded copy sits at $1, and a PSA 10 comes in at $5, which works out to about 4.5x the raw price. That's a real jump percentage-wise, but in dollar terms we're talking about a few dollars difference, not enough to comfortably cover most grading fees once you factor in shipping and the wait. A Grade 9 lands at $5 too, so even a near-perfect copy isn't pulling ahead of a true gem mint here. If you already own the card and love it, sending it in can be satisfying for its own sake, but from a pure investment angle, this isn't a card where grading pays for itself easily.
How rare is Lotad?
Across all grading services combined, there are 167 graded copies of Lotad on record, and out of those, 116 have come back as PSA 10. That's a striking ratio, it tells you that when this card does get graded, it tends to come back in gem mint condition fairly often. Because grading a $1 common isn't something most people bother doing unless they're completionists or love the artwork, the population stays naturally small, and that scarcity in graded copies is really what keeps even a Common like this one holding a small floor in value rather than dropping to nothing.
Where can you pull Lotad?
This is where PackSpy's tracking actually earns its keep. We've recorded Lotad being pulled 98 times across pack sites including tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, and the biggest single pull we've logged came in at $61, a nice reminder that even a common card can occasionally land in a lucky slot or bundle. It's shown up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Dime Pack, so if you're ripping budget-friendly packs on any of those sites, there's a real chance Lotad turns up. Just keep in mind, like all pack opening, it's a gamble, and most rips don't come close to matching that $61 outlier, so treat it as part of the fun rather than a plan to profit.
Questions people ask
How much is Lotad worth?+
A raw, ungraded Lotad from Crystal Guardians is valued around $1. It's a Common card from 2006, so the price stays modest, but PackSpy has tracked real pulls of this card worth as much as $61 when it landed in the right pack.
Is Lotad worth grading?+
Grading can push the value from $1 raw up to $5 for a PSA 10, roughly 4.5x, but that dollar gain is small once you account for grading costs. It's worth doing if you love the card, less so if you're chasing a return.
How much is a PSA 10 Lotad worth?+
A PSA 10 Lotad is valued at $5. With 116 PSA 10 copies out of 167 total graded, gem mint isn't rare for this card, which helps explain why the price stays reasonable even at the top grade.
