It's not a rare pull by design, but people search Misty's Staryu value all the time because Gym Heroes cards carry real nostalgia, and even a common from this era holds a little bit of history. Right now a raw copy sits around $1, which tells you this is a card people collect for the memory as much as the money.

The collector's take on Misty's Staryu
Is Misty's Staryu worth grading?
Here's the honest answer on Misty's Staryu price when it comes to grading: a raw copy is worth about $1, a Grade 9 climbs to $25, and a true PSA 10 gem mint sits at $51, which works out to roughly 34.7 times the raw value. That's a real jump, but hitting a PSA 10 on a common from an older set isn't guaranteed, print quality and handling from back in 2000 weren't always kind to centering and edges. Grading itself costs money and takes time, so before you send one in, think about whether you're doing it for the potential payout or because you just love the card and want it protected. If you've got a stack of these lying around, it's worth checking condition closely first, since only the sharpest copies will make that PSA 10 leap worthwhile.
How rare is Misty's Staryu?
Misty's Staryu doesn't carry any flashy population numbers because it was printed as a common, meaning it was never meant to be scarce the way a holo or 1st edition card might be. Gym Heroes had a healthy print run back in 2000, so raw copies are still floating around in binders and bulk boxes today. What that means for value is pretty simple, this card's worth comes more from nostalgia and condition than from scarcity, so a clean, well centered copy will always stand out more than the count of how many exist.
Where can you pull Misty's Staryu?
We've tracked this exact card getting pulled 75 times across pack sites like tilt-rips, courtyard, and collector-crypt, so we know it shows up more often than you'd think for a common. The biggest recorded pull we've logged came in at $86, which is a nice reminder that even a modest card can occasionally land in a lucky context. If you're chasing it yourself, it's turned up in packs like the Pokemon Dime Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and Pokémon Starter Pack, though we'll say it plainly, pack opening is a gamble and most rips don't pay off, so treat any pull as a bonus rather than an investment plan.
