Magnezone ex #226 is one of the Ultra Rares from the base Scarlet & Violet set, the one that kicked things off back in 2023, and it's easy to see why collectors keep coming back to it. PLANETA Tsuji's artwork gives this electric-blue magnet a real presence, and for anyone checking Magnezone ex value right now, it sits at $2 raw. It's not a chase card that breaks banks, but it's a genuinely nice pull with a clean, satisfying jump if you land a great copy.

The collector's take on Magnezone ex

Is Magnezone ex worth grading?

So is it worth grading? Here's the honest math: a raw Magnezone ex sits at $2, a Grade 9 climbs to $16, and a true PSA 10 gem mint copy is worth $30, which works out to 15.0x the raw price. That multiplier looks tempting on paper, but grading fees, shipping, and the wait add up fast, and hitting a PSA 10 isn't guaranteed even on a card that looks perfect to the naked eye. If you've already got the card in hand and it's centered well with sharp corners, sending it in can make sense, but buying raw copies specifically hoping to flip them into PSA 10s is a riskier bet than it looks.

How rare is Magnezone ex?

Magnezone ex carries the Ultra Rare tag, which puts it a step above your standard holo pulls but still within reach compared to the rarest chase cards in the set. There's no massive graded population data to lean on here, but that Ultra Rare status tells you print runs weren't small, which is part of why the raw price stays modest even while a PSA 10 commands real value. Scarcity in high grade, not scarcity of the card itself, is really what's driving that gap between $2 and $30.

Where can you pull Magnezone ex?

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we've recorded Magnezone ex pulled 16 times across real pack openings, not just guessed at from a database. Collectors have found it turning up in Catch 'em All - Scarlet & Violet, in noobie, and in starter, so it's spread across a few different pack types rather than locked to one release. The biggest recorded pull value we've logged for this card sits at $196, a reminder that a $2 raw card can occasionally land in a pack worth chasing. Still, opening packs is a gamble more than a strategy, and most rips don't come close to that number, so if you specifically want this card, buying it outright on the secondary market is usually the steadier path.

Questions people ask

How much is Magnezone ex worth?+

A raw, ungraded Magnezone ex is worth $2 right now. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 sitting at $16 and a PSA 10 gem mint copy reaching $30.

Is Magnezone ex worth grading?+

It depends on the copy. The PSA 10 price is 15.0x the raw value, which sounds great, but grading costs money and gem mint copies aren't easy to pull off, so it's worth grading mainly if your card already looks sharp in hand.

What set is Magnezone ex from?+

Magnezone ex #226 comes from the Scarlet & Violet set, released in 2023, and carries Ultra Rare status with artwork by PLANETA Tsuji.
