Milotic ex — collector's take

Is Milotic ex worth grading?

So is it worth grading? Let's talk honestly about it. A raw copy sits at $122, and a PSA 10 jumps to $328, which works out to about 2.7 times the raw price. That's a real gap, and it's tempting. But gem mint isn't a given: special illustration rares like this one show every little edge ding and surface flaw under a grader's light, and a Grade 9 actually comes in at $120, barely different from raw. So you're really betting on hitting that 10, not landing somewhere in the middle. Factor in grading fees and the wait time, and grading only makes sense if your copy already looks flawless to your eye before you send it in. If there's any doubt, it might be smarter to enjoy it raw or sell it as is.

How rare is it?

Here's where the numbers tell a good story. Across all grading services, there are 14,610 graded copies of Milotic ex on record, and of those, 5,628 have earned the perfect PSA 10 label. That's a meaningful chunk of the population hitting gem mint, which tells you this card can be pulled and preserved in top shape, but it also means a PSA 10 isn't some ultra-rare unicorn either. It's earned its price through genuine demand and a fairly healthy supply of high graders, which keeps the market for this card active rather than speculative.

Where to pull it

This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy, because we don't just quote you a price guide number, we watch actual pack openings happen. We've recorded Milotic ex pulled 40 times across sites like collector-crypt, mnstr, and courtyard, with the biggest single pull landing at $1,143. If you're hunting for it yourself, it's shown up in the Water Pack, Pack 3, Elite Pokemon Gacha Pack, Starter Pokemon Gacha Pack, and the Anime Pop Culture Gacha. That said, it's worth being honest here too: opening packs is gambling, and most rips don't come close to covering what you paid. Milotic ex is a genuinely good hit when it happens, but it happens on its own schedule.

Questions people ask

How much is Milotic ex worth?

Right now a raw, ungraded Milotic ex is valued at $122. Graded copies shift that number: a Grade 9 sits at $120, essentially flat with raw, while a PSA 10 climbs to $328. So the real jump in Milotic ex price only shows up once you hit that perfect grade.

Is Milotic ex worth grading?

It can be, but only if your copy is genuinely clean. The PSA 10 value of $328 is about 2.7 times the raw price of $122, which sounds great, but a Grade 9 only sits at $120, so anything short of perfect won't reward you much for the cost and wait of grading.

What set is Milotic ex from?

Milotic ex #237 comes from the Surging Sparks set, released in 2024. It's a special illustration rare, featuring artwork by Kuroimori, which is part of why collectors seek it out beyond just its playable value.
