Question 1

Is Phanpy worth grading?

Accepted Answer

Here's where it gets interesting. A raw Phanpy sits at $8, but a PSA 10 jumps all the way up to $1,231, which works out to about 153.1 times the ungraded price. That's a serious gap, and it's exactly why people ask whether Phanpy is worth grading in the first place. The catch is that gem mint isn't guaranteed just because a card looks clean to your eye, corners, edges and centering all get scrutinized, and grading fees plus shipping and wait times add up whether you pull a 10 or a 7. Interestingly, a Grade 9 currently sits even higher at $1,814, so if your copy has a small flaw that keeps it from gem mint, you're not necessarily leaving money on the table. My honest take: if the card is genuinely sharp, it's worth the gamble, but go in knowing grading is a cost you pay upfront with no guaranteed return.

Question 2

How rare is Phanpy?

Accepted Answer

Across all graded copies, there are 3,793 Phanpy cards on record, and of those, 1,484 have earned the coveted PSA 10 label. That's actually a fairly high proportion of gem mints relative to the total population, which tells you this particular illustration rare isn't impossibly hard to find in top condition, but it's far from common either. Scarcity like this is part of why the PSA 10 price holds well above raw, even if it doesn't always climb in a straight line. When you're weighing whether to grade your own copy, these population numbers are worth keeping in your back pocket.

Question 3

Where can you pull Phanpy?

Accepted Answer

This is where PackSpy's data earns its keep, because we track real pack openings across live sites rather than just guessing at odds. We've recorded Phanpy pulled 40 times so far, spotted on courtyard and mnstr, with the biggest single pull landing at $116. It's shown up in a handful of different pack types too, including the Wildcard Basic Pack, Pack 1, the Pokémon Pro Pack, and the Pokémon Starter Pack. Worth saying plainly: opening packs for a specific card is gambling, most rips don't cover their cost, so if you're chasing Phanpy specifically, buying a graded or raw copy on the secondary market is often the steadier route, but if you do want the thrill of pulling it yourself, those are the pack types where collectors have actually landed one.

Question 4

How much is Phanpy worth?

Accepted Answer

A raw, ungraded Phanpy is valued at $8, while a PSA 10 gem mint copy runs $1,231. Interestingly, a Grade 9 currently sits even higher at $1,814, so condition and grade both play a real role in what you can expect to get for it.

Question 5

Is Phanpy worth grading?

Accepted Answer

It can be, given that a PSA 10 is worth roughly 153.1 times the raw price. That said, grading costs money and there's no guarantee your copy comes back gem mint, so it's worth grading if the card is genuinely sharp in hand, but it's a real gamble either way.

Question 6

What set is Phanpy from?

Accepted Answer

Phanpy #205 comes from the Surging Sparks set, released in 2024. It's an illustration rare illustrated by Saboteri, which is part of why it stands out even among a set full of strong artwork.
