Mightyena — collector's take
Is Mightyena worth grading?
So is Mightyena worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A raw copy sits around $8, and if you land a PSA 10, that jumps to $119, which works out to roughly 14.9 times the ungraded price. That's a real jump, no question. But gem mint isn't a given: grading fees eat into your margin, turnaround times test your patience, and there's always a chance the card comes back a Grade 9 instead of a 10, which trades for $25, a much smaller win. If you've got a copy with sharp corners and clean edges under good light, it might be worth the gamble. If it's got soft corners or a slightly off-center print, you may be better off holding it raw or selling as-is.
How rare is it?
Right now there are 142 total graded copies of Mightyena on record, and out of those, 114 have earned the coveted PSA 10 grade. That's a striking ratio, it means the vast majority of graded copies that exist are already gem mint, which tells you two things. First, when a Mightyena hits a slab, it tends to come back looking great. Second, with population numbers this tight overall, there simply aren't many copies floating around at any grade, graded or not, which helps keep demand steady for anyone chasing one down.
Where to pull it
This is where PackSpy's own data comes in handy, since we track real pulls across pack sites rather than relying on guesswork. Mightyena has been pulled 200 or more times across platforms like tilt-rips, courtyard, collector-crypt, packs, and lastpack, so it's not some mythical chase card you'll never see. It's shown up in Pokemon Mini Pack, Pokémon Basic Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, and Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack. The biggest recorded pull value for this card came in at $993, which is a nice reminder of the ceiling, even if most rips won't get anywhere close to that. Worth saying plainly: opening packs is gambling, and most pulls don't come out ahead financially, but the data at least tells you where the real chances are.
Questions people ask
How much is Mightyena worth?
A raw, ungraded Mightyena is valued around $8. Once graded, the value climbs depending on the grade: a Grade 9 sits at $25, while a PSA 10 reaches $119. So the honest answer depends on the copy's condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Mightyena worth grading?
It can be, especially since a PSA 10 sells for about 14.9 times the raw price. But gem mint copies aren't guaranteed, and grading costs money and time either way, so it really comes down to how sharp your specific card looks before you send it in.
What set is Mightyena from?
Mightyena #243 comes from the Ascended Heroes set, released in 2026. It's an illustration rare featuring artwork by Yano Keiji, which is part of why collectors seek it out beyond just the numbers.
