The collector's take on Raikou V
Is Raikou V worth grading?
So is Raikou V worth grading? Here's the honest breakdown: a raw copy sits at $3, a PSA 10 comes in at $82, and a Grade 9 actually lands higher at $112, which shows you how much grading outcomes can swing on a single card like this. That PSA 10 figure works out to roughly 29.9 times the raw price, which sounds tempting, but gem mint is genuinely hard to land, corners, edges and centering all have to cooperate, and grading fees plus the wait aren't free. If you've got a sharp-looking copy sitting in a sleeve, it might be worth sending in, but go in knowing there's real risk that it comes back at a lower grade than you hoped.
How rare is it?
Scarcity tells an interesting story here. Across all grading services, only 641 copies of Raikou V have been graded, and of those, 249 have earned a PSA 10. That's a fairly high hit rate for gem mint once you commit to grading, but the smaller overall population still means graded copies, especially top-tier ones, aren't sitting around everywhere. When a card doesn't flood the population reports, that scarcity tends to hold value steadier over time, even on a card priced this accessibly.
Where to pull it
This is where our tracking comes in handy, because we don't just guess, we record actual pulls across real pack sites. Raikou V has been pulled 78 times across platforms like collector-crypt, mnstr, courtyard, lastpack, packs and tilt-rips, with the biggest recorded pull landing at $184. It's shown up in packs like the Elite Pokémon Gacha Pack, Pokémon Starter Pack, Starter Pokémon Gacha Pack, and generic listings like Pack 2 and Pack 5. Worth remembering though, opening packs is a gamble and most rips don't beat what you paid, so if you're chasing this specific card, buying a raw copy outright is usually the steadier route.
Questions people ask
How much is Raikou V worth?+
A raw or ungraded Raikou V is worth about $3 right now. Graded copies jump quite a bit, with a PSA 10 valued at $82 and a Grade 9 coming in even higher at $112, so grading outcomes really matter for this one.
Is Raikou V worth grading?+
It can be, since a PSA 10 sells for close to 29.9 times the raw price. But gem mint isn't guaranteed, and with only 249 PSA 10s out of 641 total graded copies, you're not a lock to hit that top grade, so weigh the grading cost against your card's actual condition first.
What set is Raikou V from?+
Raikou V is card #48 from Brilliant Stars, a Pokemon set released in 2022. It's a Holo Rare V illustrated by PLANETA Mochizuki, and it's one of the more approachable cards from that set price-wise.
