Nidorina #40 comes from the original Jungle set, released back in 1999, and it's one of those uncommon cards that quietly matters to anyone who grew up collecting the early Pokémon sets. Illustrated by Ken Sugimori, it carries that classic first generation look that keeps people coming back to check Nidorina value all these years later. Raw copies sit at $2, which keeps it easy to pick up, but condition and grading change the picture a lot, as you'll see below.

The collector's take on Nidorina
Is Nidorina worth grading?
If you're trying to figure out whether Nidorina is worth grading, it really comes down to the condition of your copy. Raw sits at $2, and a PSA 10 is valued at $66, which works out to roughly 39.5 times the raw price, a jump that catches people's eye. What's interesting here is that a Grade 9 is actually valued higher, at $161, which is a good reminder that grading outcomes for older cards like this don't always move in a straight line. Gem mint copies from the Jungle era are genuinely tough to land given how these cards were printed and cut back then, so before mailing anything off, look closely at the centering and surface and think about whether the grading fee makes sense against what you're likely to get back.
How rare is Nidorina?
Out of everything graded so far, only 1,166 copies of Nidorina exist across all grading companies, and just 132 of those have reached PSA 10. That's a fairly small population for a card this old, and it means most surviving copies have some wear on them by now. A clean, high grade Nidorina is a genuinely scarce thing to hold, which is a big part of why the price stretches the way it does as you move up the grading ladder.
Where can you pull Nidorina?
This is where PackSpy's own tracking comes in handy. We've recorded Nidorina being pulled 11 times across pack sites, including collector-crypt and courtyard, with the biggest recorded pull hitting $81. It's shown up across a real variety of products, the Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Master Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Pokémon Pro Pack, and The Amazing Chase Encore among them. So it's not locked to one product, it just surfaces here and there. Worth saying plainly too: opening packs is a gamble, most rips don't cover what you paid, so if Nidorina turns up for you, treat it as a nice surprise rather than the reason you bought the pack.
Questions people ask
How much is Nidorina worth?+
A raw, ungraded Nidorina is worth $2 right now. Graded copies are worth more, with a Grade 9 valued at $161 and a PSA 10 valued at $66, so how much is Nidorina worth really depends on the copy's condition and whether it's been graded.
Is Nidorina worth grading?+

How much is a PSA 10 Nidorina worth?+
