Mimikyu is one of those Pokemon cards that just makes people smile the moment they see it, that little disguised ghost peeking out always gets a reaction. This particular one, Mimikyu #289/SM-P, comes from the Japanese Promo set, and if you are here trying to pin down Mimikyu value, the short answer is that it currently sits at $4,731 raw, which is not pocket change for a promo card. Its promo-only status and the character's popularity are exactly why collectors keep circling back to it.

The collector's take on Mimikyu

Is Mimikyu worth grading?

So is Mimikyu worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A PSA 10 copy is currently valued at $20,174, which works out to about 4.3 times what the raw card brings in at $4,731. That is a real jump, and it is the reason so many people send copies off to get graded. But here is the catch: gem mint is genuinely hard to land. Grading isn't free, it isn't fast, and there's a real chance your card comes back a Grade 9 instead of a 10, which is currently valued at $10,000, still solid, but a noticeably smaller payday than a perfect 10. If your copy already looks clean under a loupe with sharp corners and no surface wear, grading can make sense. If it has any soft edges or centering issues, you may be better off enjoying it raw or selling it as is.

How rare is Mimikyu?

Promo cards like Mimikyu #289/SM-P live in a different world than main set pulls. They are not printed in the same volumes as a standard expansion, and Japanese promos in particular tend to circulate in smaller windows, often tied to events, campaigns, or limited distribution runs. We don't have exact population figures to point to here, but the pricing tells its own story: a raw card sitting at $4,731 and a PSA 10 more than four times that is not typical of a card that is easy to find in bulk. That scarcity, combined with steady collector demand for anything Mimikyu, is a big part of what keeps the value where it is.

Where can you pull Mimikyu?

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across live pack sites rather than just estimating from price guides. Mimikyu #289/SM-P has been recorded 153 times across courtyard, collector-crypt, and tilt-rips, and the biggest single pull we've logged came in at $19,323, which gives you a sense of just how much excitement one hit can generate. We've seen it show up in Pokémon VIP Cosmic, across multiple days of Pokémon: The Amazing Chase, and in the Wildcard Basic Pack. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is gambling, and most rips do not come close to matching that kind of number. If you are chasing this specific card, buying it directly on the secondary market is usually the more predictable route, but if you like the thrill, those are the pack lines where it has actually surfaced.

Questions people ask

How much is Mimikyu worth?+

Right now, Mimikyu #289/SM-P is valued at $4,731 raw or ungraded. Graded copies bring more, with a Grade 9 at $10,000 and a PSA 10 reaching $20,174. Value can shift with demand, so it is worth checking current listings before you buy or sell.

Is Mimikyu worth grading?+

It can be, since a PSA 10 sits at roughly 4.3 times the raw price, jumping from $4,731 up to $20,174. That said, gem mint copies are tough to pull off, and a Grade 9 still values at $10,000, so there is a gap between the two outcomes worth planning for before you submit.

What set is Mimikyu from?+

Mimikyu #289/SM-P comes from the Japanese Promo set, which is why it does not carry a standard main-set number and tends to trade a bit differently than cards from a regular expansion.
