Mightyena #243 comes from Ascended Heroes, a 2026 set that gave illustrator Yano Keiji plenty of room to make this Illustration rare feel like a proper spotlight card rather than a filler slot. Collectors gravitate toward it for that reason alone, but the Mightyena value conversation is what usually brings people here: a raw copy sits at $8, which is approachable, but the grading ladder above it tells a much more interesting story. If you're trying to figure out Mightyena price across conditions, this page walks through exactly where the numbers land.

The collector's take on Mightyena
Is Mightyena worth grading?
Here's the honest answer on whether Mightyena is worth grading: a raw copy runs $8, a Grade 9 climbs to $24, and a PSA 10 sits at $124, which works out to 14.8x the raw price. That jump looks tempting on paper, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit with this card, centering and edge wear on illustration rares tend to show up more than people expect. Add in the grading company's fees and the wait time, and you're taking on real risk for a shot at that top number. If your copy already looks clean under a loupe, sending it in can make sense. If it's got soft corners or a slightly off-center print, you may be better off enjoying it raw or selling as-is rather than gambling on a 10.
How rare is Mightyena?
Across every grading submission on record, only 142 copies of Mightyena have been graded, and of those, 114 came back as PSA 10. That's a striking ratio: when a card does get sent in, it tends to grade out well, which tells you the print run itself was fairly clean. But it also means the population of graded copies overall is small, so anyone chasing a Grade 9 specifically, rather than a 10, is actually hunting a rarer outcome in raw numbers. Scarcity like this is part of why the PSA 10 price holds where it does even though gem mint copies aren't as vanishingly rare as some other cards on the market.
Where can you pull Mightyena?
This is where PackSpy's data actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across pack sites rather than guessing at odds. Mightyena has been pulled 200 or more times across tilt-rips, courtyard, packs, collector-crypt, and lastpack, with a biggest recorded pull worth $1,020. It's shown up in Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Catch 'em All - Heroes Ascended, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, so it's not confined to one obscure box. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is a gamble, and most rips don't come close to that $1,020 outcome. But the fact that this card keeps surfacing across multiple sites is genuinely useful to know if you're deciding whether to chase it in packs or just buy a copy outright.
Questions people ask
How much is Mightyena worth?+
A raw, ungraded Mightyena is valued at $8. Graded copies are worth considerably more, with a Grade 9 sitting at $24 and a PSA 10 reaching $124. Where your copy falls in that range depends entirely on its condition.
Is Mightyena worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 is worth 14.8x the raw price. But only 114 of the 142 total graded copies have hit that gem mint grade, so it's not a sure thing, and grading fees eat into the upside if your copy comes back lower.
What set is Mightyena from?+
Mightyena #243 is from Ascended Heroes, released in 2026. It's an Illustration rare illustrated by Yano Keiji, which is part of why the artwork stands out to collectors.
