Question 1

Is Omanyte worth grading?

Accepted Answer

So is Omanyte worth grading? Let's talk it through honestly. A raw copy sits at $15, a Grade 9 gets you to $28, and a true PSA 10 is where things get interesting at $153, which works out to about 10.5 times the raw price. That gap looks tempting, but gem mint is called gem mint for a reason: centering, edges, and surface all have to line up, and illustration rares show every little flaw because of how much artwork bleeds to the edge. Add in grading fees and the wait time, and a Grade 9 result might barely cover your costs. If you have a copy that looks sharp under a light and you are patient, grading can make sense. If it is a played or lightly imperfect pull, it is often smarter to just sell or keep it raw and enjoy the card for what it is.

Question 2

How rare is Omanyte?

Accepted Answer

Illustration rares as a category sit above your standard pulls, they are the cards Scarlet & Violet 151 was built around chasing, and Omanyte fits that mold. We do not have official population counts to point to here, but the rarity tier itself tells you enough: these are not falling out of every pack, and clean, gem mint examples are naturally the minority of what gets pulled and graded. That scarcity is exactly why the price gap between raw and PSA 10 stays wide. Scarce cards in high grades hold value because so few copies actually earn that perfect label.

Question 3

Where can you pull Omanyte?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy actually earns its keep, because we track real pulls across live pack sites instead of guessing. Omanyte has been pulled 127 times in our records, showing up across collector-crypt, courtyard, tilt-rips, and mnstr. The biggest single pull we have logged came in at $220, which gives you a sense of the upside when a nice copy lands. If you are chasing this one yourself, keep an eye on the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Wildcard Basic Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Wildcard Starter Pack, and Water Pack, all of which have produced it. Worth saying plainly though: opening packs is gambling, most rips do not beat what you paid, and Omanyte's low raw value means the smarter move for a lot of collectors is just buying the card outright on the secondary market.

Question 4

How much is Omanyte worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Omanyte #180 from Scarlet & Violet 151 runs about $15. Graded copies climb from there, with a Grade 9 at $28 and a PSA 10 reaching $153. Our pull data also shows a top recorded pull worth $220, so real-world results can swing higher.

Question 5

Is Omanyte worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the copy. A PSA 10 is worth roughly 10.5 times the raw price at $153, which sounds great, but gem mint is genuinely hard to hit on illustration rares. If your card has sharp edges, clean centering, and no surface marks, grading can pay off. If it is a rougher pull, raw or Grade 9 territory is probably the safer bet.

Question 6

What set is Omanyte from?

Accepted Answer

Omanyte #180 comes from Scarlet & Violet 151, released in 2023. It is an illustration rare, illustrated by Yano Keiji, and part of the wave of Kanto-region cards that made this set such a hit with collectors.
