Tap to open
Metagross #178 out of the Temporal Forces set is one of those illustration rares that stops people mid-scroll, thanks to Katsunori Sato's artwork giving this steel-psychic powerhouse some real presence. Released in 2024, it's become a card collectors actively track for both looks and Metagross value, and right now a raw copy sits at $33 while a PSA 10 commands $193. That gap alone tells you why so many people search Metagross price before deciding what to do with theirs.

The collector's take on Metagross
Is Metagross worth grading?
Here's the honest math: a PSA 10 is worth 5.9 times what the raw card sells for, which sounds like an easy decision until you factor in what it actually takes to get there. Grading isn't free, it isn't fast, and gem mint is never guaranteed, especially on illustration rares where a tiny whitening on the border or a soft corner can knock you down to a Grade 9, which lands at $44 instead of $193. If your copy already looks clean under a light and a loupe, grading can make sense. If it's got visible wear, you're often better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is rather than gambling grading fees on a coin flip.
How rare is Metagross?
Across all grading submissions, there are 6,097 total graded copies of this Metagross on record, and of those, 2,662 have come back as a PSA 10. That's not a small number, but it also means well under half of graded copies hit the top grade, which explains why gem mint versions carry such a premium over the raw price. The population tells you PSA 10 isn't rare in an absolute sense, but it's rare relative to how many people tried and didn't get there, and that gap is exactly what drives the value split you see today.
Where can you pull Metagross?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. We've recorded Metagross pulled 137 times across tilt-rips, collector-crypt, courtyard, mnstr, and lastpack, with the biggest recorded hit landing at $191. It's shown up in Pokemon Expert Pack, Legendary Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokemon Starter Pack, Pokemon Premium Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, so if you're chasing this one from packs, those are the lanes where it's actually surfaced. Just remember that pack opening is gambling dressed up as fun, most rips don't cover their cost, and the safer route for landing this exact card is still buying it directly on the secondary market.
Questions people ask
How much is Metagross worth?+
A raw, ungraded copy is valued at $33 right now. Once graded, a Grade 9 sits at $44 and a PSA 10 jumps to $193, so condition and grading make a real difference to what this card is worth.
Is Metagross worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for 5.9x the raw price. But with 6,097 total graded copies and only 2,662 reaching PSA 10, gem mint is far from guaranteed, so only send in copies that already look sharp in hand.
What set is Metagross from?+
This Metagross is card #178 from the Temporal Forces set, released in 2024. It's an illustration rare illustrated by Katsunori Sato, which is part of why collectors seek it out beyond just the value.
